President Advocate Duma Boko yesterday called for unity, patience, and steady progress as Botswana continues its path of national rebuilding under the UDC government.

Delivering the 2025 State of the Nation Address themed โ€œThe Steady Path: Delivering on Our Promise, One Step at a Time,โ€ President Boko reflected on his administrationโ€™s first year in office, describing it as a period of challenge, learning, and foundation laying.

โ€œWe know where we came from, why we needed change, and where we are going,โ€ he said. โ€œThough we intend to arrive faster at our destination, we can only walk this journey one step at a time.โ€

He however noted that the success of the government will be measured through concrete outcomes such as homes built, jobs created, and systems reformed, not by promises or intentions.

โ€œGood morning, Batswana. Heavy rains are affecting parts of Tlokweng village, with reports of homes and vehicles submerged in Selokwana, Ramfurwa, Lenganeng, Lesunyaneng, Khollwane, Masetlheng, and Old Kgosing.

Local authorities are on the ground, working to assist residents and monitor the situation. They are also in contact with education officials to determine whether schools in affected areas can safely release children. Updates will follow as the situation develops.

Residents whose homes are flooded are urged to contact the following numbers for assistance:

Mooketsi Lesetedi: 71346562
Mr Seshoka: 74156965
Mr Rampoeleng: 74630674

Authorities advise avoiding flooded roads, staying indoors where possible, and keeping children and vulnerable family members safe. Letโ€™s stay vigilant and keep each other in our prayers. ๐Ÿ™โ€

Months after public health facilities faced severe drug shortages, President Duma Boko told the nation yesterday that the situation is improving, though full recovery will take time.

He said government has procured and received donations worth over P500 million in medicines, with availability now at 36% for critical drugs and 63% for essential stock.

โ€œWe will never return to this situation again,โ€ Boko said, referring to the breakdown of the medical supply chain that left clinics without life-saving medication.
