[AllAfrica] The Botswanan Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture, Mr Thapelo Olopeng has challenged churches to approach the government and show interest in the implementation of some of its programmes.
Speaking at the Anglican Church Mothers' Union annual conference last weekend, Mr Olopeng said some government programmes under the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development could be better run by churches.

Mr Olopeng also called on the church to continuously play a role in ensuring stable marriages that could guarantee the production of morally upright families and children.
