The Air Botswana (AB) privatisation saga might end up in court because the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) is contemplating suing the government over the issue. This follows Works and Transport Minister Lesego Motsumi's decision to continue negotiating with South African company, Air Link after Parliament had moved a motion halting the talks.

BCP Publicity Secretary, Dumelang Saleshando, said in Gaborone over the weekend that they were seeking possibilities of stopping negotiations through a court injunction.

Saleshando said they were still consulting on the matter, which was on the agenda of the BCP Central Committee's meeting held at the weekend.

"We believe that the executive is compelled to respect the motions of Parliament," said Saleshando, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Gaborone Central.
