The Minister further said: “As we battle pandemics like COVID-19, we really need partners like Morupule Coal Mine, to support our response efforts. I want to take this opportunity to urge all Batswana to also do their part by always following COVID-19 protocols. It is through this that we will eventually defeat this pandemic”.
