The Vice President, Dr Ponatshego Kedikilwe, has expressed satisfaction with water levels for dams in the northern part of the country. However, he said the situation in the south was a cause for concern.
In an interview during a tour of Thune Dam on January 12, Dr Kedikilwe said he was happy that Dikgatlhong, Lotsane, Letsibogo and Thune dams were filling up following recent rains in their catchment areas. He said dams in the south remained dry or with little water due to low rainfall. The Vice President was on a tour of the facilities to assess the water situation in the country. He said when building dams in the northern part of the country, government took into consideration the fact that the north, unlike the south had big rivers which could feed into dams.
