Motshegwa said the pronouncement by Matsheka that 50% of government vacant posts will be scrapped off would result in a serious economic depression amidst higher unemployment level. He is worried that the country would be thrown deeper into economic depression adding that Botswana doesn’t have a large vibrant private sector that create jobs while government cannot.
