Boko criticises presidential deportation

Speaking at a BNF meeting to brief members of the diplomatic corps, trade unions and members of public about BNF's response to President Khama's address, Boko said the deportation orders that have seen a lot of foreigners being bundled and removed from the country without trial does not reflect democratic ideals that Botswana claims to cherish.

The BNF leader said Sayed Fakhan Shah, a businessman of Asiatic origin, was slapped with a deportation order signed by the president.  Through section 7(f) of the Immigration Act, Shah was declared an undesirable inhabitant of, or visitor to Botswana last year October.
