Pedestrian activity is an essential part of Botswana’s vibrancy. It enlivens our streets, creates safer neighbourhoods and leads to healthier people. Given these benefits, it is important that we ensure that our roads are comfortable and safe for all users. A critical component of this is pedestrian safety. Residents, visitors, businesses and community CROSS KGOSIDIILE groups must ensure that everyone can travel safely. This shared Chief Executive Officer responsibility relates to how we drive, walk, design our roads and enforce our traffic laws. MVA Fund will do all within its power to ensure the safety of all road users. To further focus on the problem, the Fund completed an analysis of collisions in the greater Gaborone area from 2009 to 2011 that involved a pedestrian and a motor vehicle in which the pedestrian was the first point of contact for the vehicle. Specific crash factors and characteristics were analysed to determine populations who were involved in pedestrian crashes, when and where pedestrian crashes occurred, and the contributing factors related to pedestrian crashes. This analysis has resulted in the Fund coming up with its Pedestrian Safety Mall Campaign.

GEN. SERETSE KHAMA IAN KHAMA PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANA TO THE THIRD SESSION OF THE TENTH PARLIAMENT "BOTSWANA FIRST" 7th November 2011, GABORONE: 1. Madam Speaker, before we begin, I request that we all observe a moment of silence for those who have departed during the past year. Thank you. 2. Let me also take this opportunity to commend the Leader of the House, His Honour the Vice President, on his recent well deserved awards. In addition to the Naledi ya Botswana, which he received for his illustrious service to the nation, His Honour also did us proud when he received a World Citizen Award for his international, as well as domestic, contributions. I am sure other members will agree with me that these awards are deserving recognition of a true statesman. 3. Madam Speaker, it is a renewed privilege to address this Honourable House and the nation. This annual occasion allows us to step back and take a broader look at the critical challenges we face, along with the opportunities we can all embrace when we put the interests of our country first. 4. As I once more appear before you, I am mindful of the fact that this address will be the subject of further deliberations.

  • Toward Sustainable Conservation And
    Human–Wildlife Interactions 12(2):220–232, Fall 2018 • digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi Toward sustainable conservation and management of human–wildlife interactions in the Mmadinare Region of Botswana: villagers’ perceptions on challenges and prospects Oitshepile MmaB Modise, Department of Adult Education, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana [email protected] Rebecca Nthogo Lekoko, Department of Adult Education, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana Olekae Tsompi Thakadu, Okavango Research Institute, University of Botswana, 8173 Shorobe Rd., Sexaxa, Maun, Botswana Masego Ayo Mpotokwane, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana Abstract: Human–wildlife conflicts are increasing globally. The increase in conflicts has been attributed to growing human and wildlife populations and a per capita increase in the consumption of natural resources. In Botswana, conflicts between humans and elephants (Loxodonta africana) are increasing. The growing human population (2.2 million) is encroaching on the animals’ already restricted range. Concomitantly, more elephants are adversely affecting arable agriculture production. To better understand the magnitude and intensity of human–wildlife interactions with elephants and other native wildlife species in Botswana, we collected data through community forum conducted July 17–18, 2017 at a “Kgotla” meeting in Mmadinare, a village in the Central District of Botswana. Mmadinare has experienced increased human–wildlife conflicts, mainly related to elephants. TheKgotla is the traditional community meeting place in Botswana villages. The Kgotla provides for freedom of expression, transparent debate, officialdom, and is the official seat for the village leaders. Issues discussed at the Kgotla are highly regarded, and individuals who have discussions do so seriously.

  • Is Roadside Grass Suitable for Use As Livestock Forage in Botswana?
    Vol. 5(10), pp. 265-268, November, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/JECE2013.0297 Journal of Environmental Chemistry and ISSN 2141-226X ©2013 Academic Journals Ecotoxicology http://www.academicjournals.org/JECE Full Length Research Paper Is roadside grass suitable for use as livestock forage in Botswana? Samuel Mosweu1* and Moagi Letshwenyo2 1Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Fort Hare, Alice, South Africa. 2Department of Biological Science, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana. Accepted 6 November, 2013 The aim of this research was to assess the suitability of roadside grass for use as livestock feed to combat lack of forage resources in Botswana. Fifty grass samples were collected along the roadside in the A1 Highway corridor running between the Ramatlabama and Ramokgwebana border gates (629 Km), and analysed for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd. The maximum content levels detected in grass samples for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were 0.432, 0.187, 0.180, 0.154 and 0.03 mg/kg respectively. Assessment of the results against international maximum allowable limits of undesirable substances in animal feed showed that the content levels of heavy metal contaminants in grass resources found along the roadsides in the A1 Highway corridor in Botswana were far below maximum allowable limits. Therefore, this study supported the use of roadside grass for production of forage to combat scarcity of livestock feed in the country. However, the study recommended the establishment of an environmental management and monitoring approach to facilitate continued monitoring of the quality of forage produced from roadside grass and ensure protection of human and animal health.
