Malaria on the increase as rains pour

So far, 63 infections nationwide that include the death of one person in Kweneng district have been reported.

Principal Public Relations officer at MoE, Temba Sibanda, noted that with the current rains, it is highly likely that there will be outbreaks even in areas that do not normally have malaria. "The whole country has received substantial rainfall and it is possible for malaria transmission to occur even in areas that normally do not have transmission," he said.
