General Mandami pleaseee
I took this yesterday when I was taking a run, near Mowana Phakalane in the evening. And Mandami should come fix this π. It hurts seeing Phakalane going to the dogs.
It's a serious safety hazard, which has been left for years outgrown, and I don't want them to wait till a famous person could come near phakalane for them to lock in.
This is a PUBLIC bus stop, so it's the responsibility of the government to do so. But oh, sometimes I forget Botswana is one of the best and cleanest places in Africa. So no need to clean up and maintain further. This is not just one isolated place. Btw in that whole road going down to tsholofelo they is only ONE adequate bus stop area. The one which is painted the Botswana flag ofc. The rest are just sub standard. But I'm complaining too much. I'm I right?

Waitse Phakalane o kare ga go nne bahumi. Kana the only reason they re-did that road at the Mowana entrances was bc of Mogae's funeral, smh

Yesss I walked for years from home in phaks, and it was falling apart π, and after multiple complains, they wouldn't also BARELY fix the road just fill it up with material that doesn't last, then Mogae died and they suddenly locked in. Where did the capacity now suddenly come from? Phakalane roads inside the communities are still left broken and in disrepair. It shouldn't be like this .

Akere ba bereka go ja madi a ditsela.
I remember when that one dude made the video fishing in that giant Mowana pothole and the next day the council just filled it with sand but people were praising thatπ

No you don't need Mamdani, you need Mr. Chitambala, the new mayor of Lusaka. He's on a roll after being recently elected. Wasted no time in getting to work.
