President Ramaphosa and President Masisi will visit the Limpopo bus accident site.

President of Botswana Mokgweetsi Masisi is set to embark on the long-awaited trip to South Africa (SA) tomorrow to visit the Mmamatlakala Bridge, where 45 Batswana pilgrims lost their lives.

Botswana recently authored an official letter to the Group of Seven, protesting the unilateral decision to route all global diamonds through Antwerp, but is yet to receive feedback, President Mokgweetsi Masisi revealed earlier this week.

Just last month, Foreign Affairs minister, Dr Lemogang Kwape told Mmegi that Botswana and South Africa relations remained strong despite differences in agreements such as the revenue distribution of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) and differences on whether government should impose a trade ban on some commodities or not.

President Mokgweetsi Masisi said the offer was 'not a joke,' in response to Germany's proposed hunting trophy ban.

Trophy-hunting may not be the best way to preserve the elephants that roam the African savannah at all— and heres how ecological balance can still be preserved

Reflecting on his gambit that rattled a diamond giant, President Mokgweetsi Masisi this week while addressing Botswana envoys, lit a torch for all to see the plight Batswana endured at the hand of a secretive deal between Botswana and De Beers, expressing great descent on what he calls “a deal fraudulent and fraught with error”. Albeit praise for Botswana far and near as a diamond success story, Masisi thinks the country was duped, conned and tricked, Mmegi Staffer TIMOTHY LEWANIKA writes.

Ignoring the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at this critical stage will create a far more dire protection crisis.
