Residents of Mmopane have been warned that they are at risk of pregnant women losing unborn babies prematurely and losing hearing because more aircrafts will be landing at the expanded Sir Seretse Khama International Airport.

The warning came from the Minister of Lands and Housing, Nonofo Molefhi, who had accompanied President Ian Khama to Mmopane to address a kgotla meeting on Friday. The minister ran short of telling the residents that they will need to relocate to a new site when he said that due to increased noise pollution, houses that stand in the path of landing airplanes are at risk of getting damaged.

After the meeting Molefhi explained that in other countries insurance costs for houses near the airports are extremely high.
