Limpopo Lepadi Game and Wilderness Reserve is committed to help the government of Botswana in developing MoTse (Moletemane-Tsetsebye) villages.

This was said by MoTse villages advisory development committee chairperson Archbishop Stephen Mathiane in an interview in Tsetsebye.

He said Limpopo Lepadi was a tourism company that owned a Game and Wilderness Reserve near the two villages.

Arch Bishop Mathiane said MoTse was a development advisory committee that was formed by residents of Moletemane and Tsetsebye to work hand in hand with the Limpopo Lepadi Game and Wilderness Reserve advising it on how it could develop these villages.

 Mr Mathiane said the committee had 10 members, five members from each village.

He said the main aim of this committee was to link the villages with the owners of the Limpopo Lepadi on how they could help the villages in terms of development.

Mr Mathiane said at the moment, MoTse and Limpopo Lepadi were committed to education development of four schools that were in MoTse villages.

He said currently one of the shareholders of Limpopo Lepadi who is based in United Kingdom, Mr Ted Newton had volunteered to help MoTse four schools namely Moletemane Primary School, Tsetsebye Primary School, Busang II Memorial Primary School and Tsetsebye Junior Secondary School in educational development.

Mr Mathiane said Mr Newton has so far linked these schools with some schools in United Kingdom so that the teachers and students travel to UK for benchmarking on how education programmes are being run in those schools with his own expenses a thing he did in 2010 when Busang II Memorial Primary School teachers visited one of the primary schools in UK for benchmarking on educational administration.

He said Mr Newton had already donated computers, printers, books and other educational equipment to MoTse schools and Tsetsebye reading room.

Mr Mathiane said they were also given tables and chairs by this good samaritan which were shared by  all the four schools accordingly.

He said apart from the help they receive from Mr Newton, Limpopo Lepadi is also helping schools in  MoTse villages with educational equipment and funding.ENDS
