Botswana's international musician, Banjo Mosele, has slammed government over the revised nightclub hours, protesting that the move has deprived them of a livelihood.

He lamented that musicians are not getting jobs because of the revised liquor regulations. Nightclub operating hours have been reduced since the revised liquor regulations came into effect in 2008. Nightclubs close at 10pm on Sundays and at midnight during the week.  Over the weekends, they close at 2am.

Mosele, who is based in Norway, has always come to his home country to stage shows.  But he said since the revised regulations came into effect, nightclub owners are not hosting live bands because it is not cost effective.  He said nightclub owners could not share the little that they are making.
