BDF hosts Zim army chiefs

"Yes, it is true that recently, the BDF Defence Command and Staff College hosted their Zimbabwe counterparts, the Zimbabwe Staff College," he said in response to Mmegi enquiries.

He said that the Zimbabwe Staff College delegation was in Botswana for a week (from August 9 to August 16).  Baatweng revealed that the 12-month staff college course is designed for middle management officers, mostly of the rank of major, who upon successful completion are assigned to senior positions. "The delegation was here on a geo-political and strategic studies tour of Botswana.  This is the normal practice in countries, which have such colleges," he stated.
