Kesitegile Gobotswang is a motswana politician who serves as a member of parliament for Tswapong South. He is a member of Botswana Congress Party (BCP). Quotes “Previously the minimum radius between boreholes was 8km then was reduced to 6km and now we request that it is further reduced to 4km,” “This means that there ends up being no regard for overgrazing as the individual will only be interested in leasing a borehole to as many farmers as possible in order to make more money,” “The marginalised will also be affected by the wide radius,” MP calls on govt to revise borehole allocation policy 29 August 2024 "tota tota sekole se kabo se tswetswe” - Close non-compliant DDT College of Medicine - Dr. Gobotswang 26 June 2023 “I smell a very big rat! A parallel government awaits us,” “Will we ever see the scrapping of these sections from our Constitution?” Gobotswang raises alarm over Khama IV’s return to chieftainship 6 December 2024 “Consequently patrolling by members of the security forces along the border has been a challenge. Permit has to be sought from commercial farmers who are predominantly white to access Limpopo and conduct patrols. Under the current set up Tuli Block is virtually a state within a state. This cannot be acceptable. It has to change,” “Our key informants tell us that Sheldon Game Farm-Kweneng Ranches (Pty) Ltd near Machaneng village was used to close one of the passages to Limpopo River,” “However the recommendations never saw the light of day. Apparently it was felt that if the recommendations were implemented some big people associated with the government would have been affected. The report is said to be gathering dust in the shelves at OP as government developed cold feet. It is for this reason that I will be asking the questions below during the President’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) sitting in November 2021,” “We need action like yesterday. Batswana have been deprived of a vital resource for a very long time. For the people of Bobirwa and Tswapong economic inclusion will mean nothing if we are excluded from utilizing Limpopo River. Apartheid tendencies must not be tolerated in our country.” ‘Open access to Limpopo river’ -Dr Gobotswang 2 December 2021 "All the villages from the constituency are connected to North South Water Pipeline. All the tarred roads have been maintained. We also allocated P4.6 million Constituency Fund to purchase school furniture and mattresses for learners in boarding school," "We deserve access to Limpopo for tourism, fishing and small scale irrigation scheme."
