Assistant Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, Mr Itumeleng Moipisi says the only planned minimal land servicing which entails water reticulation and gravelling of access roads is at New Letsibogo amongst the new areas.

Responding to a question in Parliament, Mr Moipisi said this is targeted to start in March 2017 and it is expected to be completed by September 30, 2017 and he however said electricity reticulation does not form part of minimal land servicing as it is provided under full land servicing.

He said people residing in Phase 1, Letsibogo, Tawana and Phase 2 Extensions currently access water from Tawana, Old Letsibogo, Phase 1 and Phase 2 and Phase 1 extension Industrial access from Phase 2 and Nkosho Industrial sites.

Mr Moipisi said new Letsibogo minimal servicing project is done under Economic Stimulus Programme, while the rest of other areas would be considered in the future national development plans.

MP for Boteti East, Mr Setlhomo Lelatisitswe had asked the minister when minimal servicing of land will be done in all new areas and industrial sites in Letlhakane and when the clearing and gravelling of roads, water reticulation and extensions of electricity will be done.

Mr Lelatisitswe also wanted to know where the people who stay in these areas access the services and whether the ESP and NDP 11 will cover the above and if so when. ENDS
