Sekoto decries lack of gov�t support

Twenty-one-year-old Batshani Sekoto, who walked from Masunga to Gaborone pushing his non-moving car for 22 days in November 2016, was on a mission to meet President Ian Khama to appeal for funding to complete his vehicle. He was not given good reception by security officers at the Office of the President and he was thrown out. His efforts to meet the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Culture development, Thapelo Olopeng also proved futile as he was told that the minister said he should not be allowed into his office.

Sekoto manufactured a helicopter back in 2003 while still doing Standard Two. He later went to Air Botswana to look for the engine and after countless meetings with the management, he was given an old engine, which enabled the helicopter to fly.
