OLDM GM’s charity walk towards sustainable future – Keorapetse

During the OLDM GM’s charity walk held over the weekend, the Speaker of the National Assembly and chief walker, Dithapelo Keorapetse, emphasised the importance of collective action in addressing water challenges and promoting health and wellness in communities. According to Keorapetse, the walk is not only about raising funds for charity but also a reminder of the importance of health and wellness. "By walking together, we combine the spirit of giving with the pursuit of healthier lives. It truly demonstrates that caring for our communities goes hand in hand with caring for ourselves," he added.

Keorapetse quoted former president Festus Mogae's statement that Batswana are known for their spirit of Botho—respect, compassion, and a sense of duty to others.
