Batswana students released from Malaysian jail

Godfrey Kalanke, the public relations officer in the ministry revealed that the five who were arrested after testing positive for drugs were released on Monday on condition that they be re-tested again on February 11.  He further revealed that the five who were not in possession of their passports were released on Wednesday with the help of the Botswana education attache who made it possible for their passports to be availed to the authorities.

"We met with all their parents today to brief them on the latest developments while we are still waiting for a fully detailed report from the education attache on what really happened. Once we have the full report we will get some direction," he said.
