Chilimba said Government would help families affected by the floods with food, blankets and tents among others.

“We have been helping some of the families that have been affected. We will be increasing aid. In total, 130 households with an average of three members each have been affected,” he said, adding that they will end their mission on Sunday.

The flooding has crippled traffic along the A3 highway – one of the country’s busiest roads, which runs from Francistown, Nata, Gweta, Zoroga up to Maun.  The highway is the leading access road to the country’s tourism heartland in the north west.
