Authorities defend flogging of illegal Zims

Mosojane’s sentiments come in the wake of an article that recently appeared in a Zimbabwe newspaper, New Zimbabwe, that said Zimbabweans were discriminated against by the laws of Botswana when it comes to flogging.

“Corporal punishment is recognised by a number of legal statutes in Botswana. Even Batswana who commit petty crimes receive corporal punishment. Zimbabwean authorities who allegedly said so are probably not aware of our laws in Botswana.”
