Residents on high alert as rains intensify
22 Dec 2025
As torrential rains continue to pound the city, residents living near the Tati and Ntshe rivers have been urged to be vigilant, following warnings of potential flooding.
"Those staying on the banks of these two rivers should always be on the alert," Ms Matseka
District Commissioner and chairperson of the Francistown Disaster Management Committee, Ms Chabongwa Matseka warned.
With the Ntimbale Dam overflowing, she also said the Tati River was likely to follow suit, posing a significant threat to nearby communities.
Motorists are also being advised to exercise extreme caution, particularly on the A3 (Francistown/Nata/Maun road), which is currently under construction.
“Be extra vigilant and keep a safe distance to avoid hitting each other behind due to slippery roads,” Ms Matseka cautioned.
She encouraged the public to report any flood-related incidents to the Office of the District Commissioner or the Office of the City Clerk. ENDS
