Matambo dashes Phikwe residents' dreams

Speaking during a budget review dialogue,  organised by the Botswana Conuncil for Non-governmental Organisations ((BOCONGO) on Monday, Botswana National Front (BNF) publicity secretary, Moeti Mohwasa said the future of Selebi-Phikwe and the region is uncertain.

He said Matambo's maiden budget speech had nothing for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. "It has been officially announced that BCL Mine will be closing in 2013 and we are just wondering what will happen to us. The minister did not say anything to save Selebi-Phikwe from becoming a ghost town," he said.
