OP grounds public photojournalists from presidential coverage

The OP has however, vehemently denied charges of banning the lensmen, majority of whom are seniors in their field at the Department of Information Services from covering the President.

Source however, intimated that a directive coming from two powerful offices at the OP has instructed experienced government photojournalists armed with state-of-the-art equipment to stop covering the President as there is a team ‘contracted’ to do the work. Those who are not affected by the new developments include the Broadcasting Services (Botswana Television crew and Radio Botswana) and the Botswana Press Agency (BOPA).
