Value-added grass: Live cattle exports offered another route to returns for local farmers

Government has extended the live cattle export dispensation by another 12 months to December next year, BusinessWeek has learnt.

Live cattle sales had temporarily been opened up from October 2020 as a way of giving farmers alternative income streams outside of the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC), which has been the sole institution statutorily allowed to export beef products in the country.

‘Fake’ drugs: A matter of life, truth and accountability

When claims of such gravity are made, especially by a sitting Assistant Minister they cannot be brushed aside, delayed, or treated as routine political noise.
