Khan sets up funeral scheme for Borakalalo ward

Councillor for the Borakalalo ward in Molepolole North constituency Arafat Khan is working around the clock to set up a funeral scheme for his constituents.

He told The Midweek Sun that his ward is one of those in Kweneng District where poverty is high. He said the scheme will be launched early next year. “I am currently undertaking consultations with my voters.

I am doing so because I want them to own this scheme. Anyone in the ward will be free to join. I want to be a true servant to my constituents because I promised them when asking for their vote prior to the 2014 general election that I will do all I can to uplift their lives.”

Khan said that the scheme will be administered through a committee which will be made up of residents of Borakalalo ward. He is also going to register a trust which will pay the first instalment of the scheme for any of the residents who will join.

“I am currently doing paper work for the Trust which will be called Arafat Khan-Borakalalo Trust,” he said.
