Labour abuse must stop

The move followed the workers' meeting of the hospitality and tourism sector he addressed over the weekend at the tourism capital of Botswana.

Matlhabaphiri must be commended for taking time to consult with workers in the sector, which has been characterized not only by charges of unfair labour practices, but also those of divisive racism. Matlhabaphiri's predecessors, and indeed all the previous members for the Ngamiland/Okavango/Chobe areas have at some point been confronted with complaints of appalling working conditions in the sector. But all these appear to have been met with government's stunning indifference.
