�Old-timers� dismiss research paper on Gaborone

This follows University of Botswana  (UB) historian and director of Confucius Institute, Professor Part Mgadla’s sentiments in a research paper arguing that the legislative councils did not apply themselves thoroughly and voted hastily for Gaborone despite being the least qualifying of all the other places. According to him, there are things that need to be looked into when deciding over the location of a capital city.

Availability of water, communication networks, roads, railways, airport, plenty of land are what make a capital city.
