FRANCISTOWN: Following President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s latest proclamation suspending the sale of alcohol in liquor outlets and homes, police now believe that there may be a thriving black market for liquor in Botswana being smuggled from neighboring countries.

This follows the arrest and charging of a local man, Koziba Nkosana, on Saturday after he was found with bottles of whiskeys that he dumped in the bush at Dumela Industrial Site.

Officers from Francistown Police station arrested Nkosana in possession of 17 (750 ml) bottles of Gold Blend Black Whiskey and 48 (750 ml) Gordon’s Dry Gin. The bottles of whiskeys and gin were found in the bush after Nkosana dumped them when the police approached him.
