There is a new type of slavery in Botswana. The slaves consist of graduates attached to various government departments and some private companies as interns; the slave masters their supervisors. However, officialdom dismisses accusations as the whining of "cry-babies."

The interns, whose identities The Monitor will protect to avoid retribution, revealed these sordid details at a recent induction seminar hosted by the Department of National Internship Programme (DNIP) in Gaborone.
