Masisi wants action on illegal immigrants

He said that they enter the country as visitors and end up engaging in illegal trade of the products they would not have declared at the border. He said immigration officers and police seem not to be bothered by this development as they see these illegal traders everyday but do nothing about them.

Masisi was debating the budget allocation for the ministry on Tuesday and he accused the illegal traders, mostly from Zimbabwe, of infringing on the Intellectual Property Law of Botswana with impunity, while producers of that work suffer great losses.
