Visa restrictions show Khama�s intolerance

While we understand that Botswana is within its right as a sovereign state to impose visa restrictions on anyone, we are worried that this trend is further exposing the current administration as intolerant and autocratic.

 We know fully well that EFF members, including their leader Malema have said nasty things about Botswana and President Ian Khama. In fact, Malema and his supporters were expelled from the African National Congress (ANC) in 2012 after they called for the overthrow of Khama’s government. This was not appropriate: Malema did not only rankle the ANC, but Khama as well.
