Gaone Majere

"Our focus has been on littered passages in the city centre and abandoned plots in some of our most densely populated areas, which have now become dumping grounds."

"Deputy Mayor and I accept the responsibility you have given us to lead and serve this council. We appreciate the trust you have placed in us to be the leaders of this city. This city requires and needs all of us as councilors, council employees and residents to build a new Francistown. We need to create employment, we are fully aware most of our young people are unemployed and faced with poverty."

"I have lived the most part of my life in Francistown and I have been a councillor in this city for the past 10 years. I have been a resident of Francistown for many years and I know the challenges of this city like the palm of my hand. I think that as a mayor, I have to set the tone of how we are going to move forward and what’s going to happen."

"United and together we can achieve much. As a united force there is very little which we can fail. My deputy and I are open to any advice which will take this city to greater heights and benefit its residents. Being in the office of Mayor does not mean we are more intelligent or wiser than you. Our doors are open to each one of you."

"Let us be serious in our deliberations. It can no longer be business as usual. We must not be found spending most of our time joking and jesting. Let is spend time seriously debating and finding solutions for issues which affect our city."

"we want to revive our city and we believe that manufacturing companies are the ones which can assist us in that regard."
