In talks: Botswana’s delegation addresses British legislators ahead of the debate on Friday

LONDON: Besides articulating Botswana's prudent conservation strategies very well, Minister of Environment and Tourism, Dumezweni Mthimkhulu has told the British House of Commons to arrest former president Ian Khama upon his arrival in the United Kingdom (UK).
