FCC warns 'unscrupulous' beneficiaries

When answering some questions about who genuinely qualifies for the food parcels during a press conference on Tuesday, Pule admitted that some people provide wrong information to social workers that are assessing them in order to unlawfully benefit from the programme. 

He explained that the food baskets are provided as a temporary relief measure to those who cannot meet their families’ most basic needs and those who no longer have any source of generating income amongst other reasons since the government enacted the lockdown in order to control the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Botswana.
