SELEBI-PHIKWE: The Commander of Botswana Defence Force (BDF), Lieutenant General Placid Segokgo has said that transnational organised crime continues to pose a significant challenge to the regional peace and security.

Speaking during the opening of the ongoing 25th session of Botswana/Zambia Joint Permanent Commission on Defence and Security meeting on Tuesday, Segokgo said wildlife offences and smuggling of contraband are also cause for concern. “I am particularly concerned over incidents of trafficking in persons and poaching between borders,” he said.

He expressed the need for the two nations to double their efforts in these areas and was confident that the continued partnerships will produce better returns in the near future. Segokgo said the continued partnership through Joint Permanent Commission on Defence and Security is indicative of the commitment to improve cooperation on defence and security matters between the two countries. “This bilateral cooperation arrangement has also worked to advance the various objectives of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) including the strategic indicative plan for the organ,” he said.
