F/town Stadium ready in 6 months-Swartz

Gordon Baxter an independent consultant who was hired by the Department of Engineering and Building Services (DEBS) to assist correct construction blunders on various stadium projects around the country said this in an interview with Mmegi Sport last Thursday. Baxter was among officials, including Minister of Infrastructure,Science and Technology (MIST) Johnnie Swartz  who toured the Francistown Stadium, which has been under construction since 2007.

Construction and design blunders that have led to cost overruns and delays at the Lobatse, Gaborone and Francistown stadiums have raised questions over the country's ability to construct and oversee sports facilities of international standard."The scenario where there are construction blunders in big projects particularly stadiums is not unique: it happens all over the world.
