Old Naledi receives a paint job

Children play on the swings the area is named after, and a DJ plays music from his laptop.  Young and old are adorned in the white t-shirts and caps they were freely given. "All along, it's been like Old Naledi is not good enough for outside visitors, but maybe that will change," an excited long time resident of Old Naledi tells Mmegi. 

Gabaikangwe Mothei, who has been living on her plot in the Naledi South ward since 1982 has the singular honour of having her house as the first to be painted in the first phase of the Botswana leg of the Dulux Let's Colour the World initiative.  Presidential Affairs Minister, Mokgweetsi Masisi laid the first brush stroke in the paint job.
