Molefhi told parliament on Tuesday that cabinet has granted approval for the review of the Road Transport Act and Road Traffic Act, part of which will address the provision of this service. The minister said the study on the feasibility of this service has not been conducted, however, he said there have been numerous enquiries from the public for the service. He said the demand cannot be confirmed with statistical data. The minister said the ministry will instead consider the provision of personalised vehicle registration numbers and letters during the review of the legislation.
He was responding to a question from Fidelis Molao, Tonota North Member of Parliament, who wanted to know when the minister intends to introduce personalised vehicle registration numbers in Botswana

A total of 73 employees have been dismissed from the Botswana Postal Services from 2009 to date, the Minister of Transport and Communications Nonofo Molefhi has said. Out of these, 16 were dismissed in 2009, 22 in 2010, 34 in 2011 and one has been dismissed so far this year. From 2009 to date, 25 cases have been mediated by the labour department, while nine have been mediated and tried by the Industrial Court. No cases have been settled out of court. He said his ministry has never considered investigating the cause of staff turnover because the turnover over the last three years has been normal. The total staff compliment of the Botswana Postal Services is 2008. Molefhi was responding to a question from Tswapong North Member of Parliament Prince Maele, who wanted to know whether he had established the case of the high staff turnover, and if he would consider investigating the cause.
