Surrogacy, an arrangement to carry out a pregnancy for intended parents has never been popular in Botswana and is mostly heard in overseas countries where most celebrities opt for its option.

Now when the CoA session resumes on Thursday, the case is expected to be one of those that would challenge the status quo of the country and individuals on surrogacy. Though the case is premised on two couples that find themselves fighting before the court following a divorce while the process of surrogacy that they had opted for was already in motion, it would be interesting to see what our legal minds think of the infamous move and its legality in the country.
