Quotes The absence of a sewerage system has stopped developments such as the construction of Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) houses. BHC was allocated a plot in Molepolole but has not developed it because of lack of the sewerage system. It is not good for a big village like Molepolole to lack sewerage system. It is not clear how government will create jobs for many young people who are affected by unemployment and have resorted to working for Ipelegeng. Dr Mmatli wants Molepolole sewerage infrastracture,DailyNews(21 February 2017) They are busy recruiting and parading the youth from Molepolole and go around misleading people that I am among those joining the BDP. I am not going anywhere. The Vice President is busy recruiting while programmes that he should be looking after are failing the nation. He should just focus his energy and time on those programmes he has been mandated to drive. We are working around the clock to ensure that everything is in place so that when we take over power from the ruling Botswana Democratic Party, we ensure proper governance for this country. Mmatli's backyard under BDP siege, Botswana Guardian(1 November 2016) Ministers are always reluctant to officiate at our events but with Morwaeng there is always a Minister officiating at his donation ceremonies and as such ensuring that BTV and Daily News cover his events. The event was supposed to be addressed by Assistant Minister of Basic Education Thato Kwerepe but instead, we just saw Assistant Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture Philip Makgalemele being ushered in as the guest speaker. I had told the parents to be wary of donations that come with political strings attached and Makgalemele responded that unlike Morwaeng who is willing to give to the community, I am against it. Mmatli cries foul as Morwaeng donates to constituency,Botswana Gazette (25 October 2018) Tsogwane attacked us mainly that he said when we respond to SONA we did not applaud the government but rather criticize and oppose the SONA. Yes we should not agree with anything that is presented to commend but it is our role as legislators both in opposition and BDP to further debate so he (Tsogwane) and his BDP must hold on their frustrations. Mmatli berates Tsogwane,The Patriot (30 December 2020) You should be alert of the eventuality. The Agriculture Minister should prepare in time the disaster likely to befall the farmers and make pesticides available. We will come out empty handed. Pests may eat away likely good harvests – Mmatli,Sundaystandards(27 February 2017)
