Members of Parliament (MPs) will this Friday vote on a motion calling for the introduction of news in languages other than Setswana and English.

The motion tabled by Okavango MP Bagalatia Arone requests government to introduce multilingual news broadcasting in all languages with developed orthographies. 

When presenting the motion, Arone said he was aware the BDP had continuously opposed the “noble motion without knowing the dangers they are creating for this republic”, and went on to challenge MPs from across the political divide to back the motion.
