Molepolole residents tired of voting while thirsty

Friday, September 27, 2019

Molepolole is the most populated village in the country with 63,248 people. The Bakwena capital is made up of two constituencies which stretch beyond the village with Molepolole North being home to 34,947 people while Molepolole South has 36 714 people.

Besides water shortage and bad roads, villagers decry lack of sewerage system, storm water drainage system, land shortage, unemployment, poor health facilities as well as soaring crime.
