Member of Parliament for Mogoditshane East in the National Assembly of Botswana, elected at the general election of 30 October 2024, the first time the constituency was contested.
The mandate

Biography
What appears below is drawn from the parliamentary and press record. Biographical detail such as education, professional background, community service before election and family is the office's to publish, and this page carries a place for it rather than an approximation of it.
Editorial standard for this site: nothing is written in the Member's voice, and no biographical claim is published without a source. Supply the approved biography and it replaces the panel opposite.
Hon. Letlhogonolo Barongwang stood for the Umbrella for Democratic Change in Mogoditshane East at the 2024 general election and became the seat's first Member of Parliament. He sits with the governing benches in the thirteenth Parliament of Botswana.
Three themes have run through his contributions in the National Assembly: integrity in land administration, capacity in schools and health facilities, and an inclusive Parliament that recognises the role of Ntlo ya Dikgosi. Each is documented in the section below with its source.
The office works through the six ward structures and their councillors, and treats the community meeting as the primary channel between residents and their representative rather than as a formality.
In the National Assembly
Each item below is reported in the public record and linked to its source. The office can add further items at any time.
A motion tabled in the National Assembly asks government to commission a forensic land audit of the Mogoditshane Sub-Land Board covering allocations made over the past fifteen years, including those involving board officials, employees, councillors, members of Parliament and members of the Tribal Administration.
The Member has told Parliament that the constituency's schools and health facilities are grappling with a rising population, describing an area of more than 80,000 people served by three public health facilities of which only one operates around the clock, alongside overcrowding in schools that affects performance.
In debate on the Parliament budget, the Member argued that the institution must be inclusive and that Ntlo ya Dikgosi should be recognised for the role it plays in building society.
Constituency work
Ward meetings are the constituency's main channel for raising land, services, safety and development matters directly. Dates publish on the news page.
The land audit motion, capacity submissions on schools and health facilities, and ward consultation on serviced plot delivery. Each is set out with its source in the parliamentary record above and in the projects register.
Ward meetings run on a rolling schedule across the six wards, and constituency clinics are held when Parliament is in recess. Dates are published on the news page as they are set.
Residents who want to assist with community programmes, youth work or ward events can register their interest.
