Economics, natural disasters, and even democracy can wipe a town off the map. One place that has over the years found its way into the world map of âghost townsâ in Botswana is Lobatse. The town â located just about 60 kilometres south of the countryâs capital city â Gaborone used to gloat with a vibrant business community but is now shrinking into a depressing state of affairs.
