Controversy erupts over fracking in CKGR

According to British newspaper, The Guardian, hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, for the production of gas is the subject of fierce debate in America, Britain, South Africa and other countries around the world, with green activists warning that it degrades land and pollutes air and water.

The Guardian report alleges that for more than a decade, Botswana has been quietly granting lucrative licences to international companies to carry out fracking in the fragile CKGR.
