Youth interns who have just returned from a month-long entrepreneurship boot-camp at the Pandamatenga Botswana Defence Force (BDF) camp have told The Monitor that BDF soldiers called them "stock"(sex objects), and that in the evening they (soldiers) picked girls of their choice allegedly for a romp in their camps.The trainees also claim the exercise turned them into zombies.

Some 500 youths were sent for a boot-camp overseen by the BDF soldiers at the Pandamatenga barracks as part of entrepreneurship training. After the training the youth would be granted youth loans to start up their businesses, but those who returned on Friday have told The Monitor their BDF trainers openly referred to them as "stock", a word which has sexual undertones among Batswana.

The trainees also narrate how in the first two weeks the BDF instructors forced them to perform a sex dance they nicknamed "boogie boogie".
