DEA to intensify screening of six Mexican nationals

The DEA believes the men’s presence in Botswana may not be coincidental. Director General Phemelo Ramakorwane said the agency finds it highly unlikely that individuals would travel such a long distance without a valid reason , raising suspicion that their visit may be linked to illicit activity.

“Something might have attracted them to Botswana, hence the need to conduct deeper screening. With assistance from the police, efforts are ongoing to establish the motive behind their illegal entry and stay in the country,” Ramakorwane said.
