A 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy died in a freak road accident that occurred on Tuesday in a gravel road between Qangwa and Magopa settlement, near Shakawe village in the North West district.
Confirming the incident, Gumare police Station Commander, Superintendent Dennis Zilawe said three other people were seriously injured when the station wagon, driven by the now late 18-year-old veered off the road and cut through the bush before it overturned.
“The 18-year-old who lost his life is said to have been driving the overloaded five-seater vehicle. Three people who were injured are currently in hospital. One is at Nyangabwe Referral Hospital in Francistown, the other one is at Gumare primary hospital while the third is at Letsholathebe Memorial Hospital in Maun,” explained Zilawe.
In 2019, 31-year-old Koketso Majuta quit his job at Gaborone Private Hospital, one of Botswana s largest hospitals, and opened his own medical clinic in the small town of Palapye.
Little did he know then that his presence and services would benefit the growing town greatly during the COVID-19 pandemic that followed.
We decided early on that we needed to play our part in the fight against the pandemic, said Majuta, founder of Toro Clinic Medical Centre.
To serve the town effectively during Botswana s lockdowns, curfews and other assortments of COVID-19 restrictions, Majuta introduced a home delivery of medication, a service that largely benefited his elderly clients during the lockdowns as they were able to receive their medication from the comfort of their homes.

Othorsurge Botswana last week Friday held a ground breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of a refurbishment of the Ostomy Clinic at Nyangabwe Referral Hospital (NRH) in Francistown.
An ostomy clinic provides patients with long-term access to a Certified Ostomy Care Nurse (COCN) or Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse (CWOCN) specialist essential for people requiring ostomies. An ostomy is a surgery done to create an opening (stoma) from an area inside the patient body to the outside and it treats a number of diseases of the digestive or urinary systems.
The refurbishment project will cost around P200 000. It is anticipated to be complete by April 2021 and will help improve services for Ostomy patients at NRH.
