MPs lose 'Battle of the Caravan'

Minister of Defence, Justice, and Security Ramadeluka Seretse told the House that the purpose of the caravan is to provide accommodation for the president when travelling around the country. "It will serve as a substitute for hotel accommodation and will make up for absence of hotels in other places. In this way, the caravan/mobile home will offer the President flexibility of movement and duration of meetings, as well as minimise flying back and forth," Seretse said.

Seretse further said that the provision of the mobile home/caravan together with a number of vehicles has always been a benefit accruing to the president.
