BNF wants DIS disbanded

The Botswana National Front (BNF) youth league staged a march on Saturday to protest the establishment of the Directorate of Intelligence Services (DIS).

The youth are demanding that the spy agency be disbanded. They failed to present a petition to the Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security because the officials turned them down. The BNF was only granted a permit by the police to stage the march, which ended with a political rally at Nkurumah Freedom Square in Gaborone West. 

Addressing the rally, the president of the youth league, Kagiso Ntime said when they were applying for the permit, they were tossed around by government officials. He intends to lodge a complaint with the permanent secretary to the President, Eric Molale over the matter.
