Gaborone City Council have failed for two months to supply monthly food baskets to the poor

Destitutes in Gaborone West found themselves hungry for two months after the city council officials failed to supply the monthly food baskets.

Gaborone City Clerk Mpho Mathe confirmed to Mmegi that the food baskets were not distributed for almost two months because the supplier’s contract had expired in July.

 “There was a communication breakdown between the two parties involved. Since the previous supplier’s contract had expired, we were waiting for the new contractor to present their price list. Unfortunately the contractor took too long to submit,” he said.
