Khama's housing project off to slow start

The Chinese, whose businesses are found on every street corner and other Batswana are nowhere to be seen, at least in the list published recently in the Daily News. However the chairman of the Botswana Chinese Friendship Association, Miles Nan says their plan to support the president's appeal is complete but said at this juncture they are not yet ready to go public about their support to the initiative. "We have a plan concerning that. We have already met with the Office of the President concerning our role in this project", Nan said yesterday.

The Indian response is not coming from a particular group, it cuts across the religious divide and comes from companies, Trusts and Foundations, as well as individuals coming forward to lend their support to the call to house the needy.
