Churches, Ditshwanelo refuse to back down

The two organisations have filed supporting affidavits in the Lobatse High Court case in which the refugees are suing the Botswana government for plans to deport  or forcibly repatriate them to Namibia.

The Namibian government has already reacted angrily and publicly to Ditshwanelo’s statements on the matter, while the government of Botswana reportedly feels let down by the BCC and regrets inviting the faith group to partake in the June 2015 ‘Go See, Come Tell’ mission to assess conditions in Namibia.
