Chinese Risk All To Complete Airport On Time

Indeed, the look on the face of the site manager at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport expansion project betrays his difficult experiences in Gaborone over the last few months.

Zheng went through hell not long ago at the hands of immigration officials because he did not possess the requisite work permit. He has actually been to prison for one day and one night. His construction site has been frequently visited by the Immigration Department as they sniff around for illegal Chinese workers at the over P400 million project in the nation's capital city.  The immigration officials' visit often results in workers downing tools, as the host country wants to ensure that there are no illegal immigrants at the site which has employed up to 300 people.
