Trans Kalahari railway line critical

Botswana and Namibia do not only share a borderline stretching thousands of kilometres, they also have the same tribes in each other’s territory being Batswana, BaHerero and Bayeyi amongst others.

Botswana hosted Namibian refugees during the country’s struggle for independence in the late 50s until the 90’s and Geingob was one of the refugees in his teen years in the 60s. Botswana has now sought a piece of land to build a dry port as a convenient and strategic area in Walvis Bay as compared to the hostile treatment she is getting in South Africa.
