Safari companies stand accused?

Speaking in an interview, councillor for Khwai and Savuti, Kereeditse Ntshogotho, said yesterday that some safari companies prevent their employees from going for medical appointments for the period falling within the prescribed three months.

He said this became common after an arrangement between the Hotel and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB) and the Ministry of Health that all employees on ARVs are supplied with enough medication to last them the three months they spend in the bush.
