The rebirth of lake Ngami

After drying in the 1990's, this mighty lake which is situated 100 km south west of Maun, is a jewel to the communities of Toteng, Sehithwa, Bodibeng and Bothatogo villages.

According to Sehithwa village headman, Domi Kandu, the lake died down for much of the last 20 years but was recently reborn. He told The Monitor that for the past three years there has been an influx of people in to his village due the booming commercial fishing prospects in the area. "We are not only experiencing a flood of water but fisher people also," he said.
