Tension between President Mokgweetsi Masisi and his predecessor Ian Khama could culminate in possible political unrest leading to bloody polls.

Botswana Red Cross Society (BRCS) secretary-general Kutlwano Mukokomani has confirmed the authenticity of the report in circulation about their plans. They are expecting about P2 million (CHF 128,636) from the mother body in Switzerland.

DREF remains the IFRC’s fastest and most efficient way of providing immediate assistance to communities affected by floods, disease epidemics, social unrest, forced migration and other disasters and crises.
