VoA Worries Councillors

The councillors quizzed the Botswana Telecommunication Authority (BTA) representatives about the issue during a full council meeting last week. The civic leaders said that they did not understand the purpose of the country (America) and needed clarification from BTA, the licensing authority.

Councillor James Kgalajwe who wanted to know the links between BTA and VoA initiated the discussion. "What is your relationship with Voice of America? How much do you monitor their content to protect other countries surrounding us or do you monitor their content?" he asked.  Also worried about VoA was councillor Motlatsi Molapisi who said that he felt that VoA was just here to monitor African countries.
