Botswana brainstorms to end child labour

Acting Labour and Home Affairs permanent secretary, Claude Mojafi last week said Botswana was duty bound to end child labour. He was speaking during the commemoration of Child Labour Day. While lower than in other parts of the continent, child labour in Botswana is primarily a concern in the agricultural sector, in both subsistence and commercial farming activities.

“The day against child labour builds onto a multifaceted and comprehensive strategy for the elimination of child labour and signifies global action against child labour,” he said.
