Illicit ci******es with an estimated street value of just under 6 million p**a or 8 million rand have been confiscated by law enforcement agencies on South Africaโ€™s border with Botswana.

Provincial police spokesperson in North West Colonel Adele Myburgh, said the confiscation of the ci******es by members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) and police officers is a success story in the continuous and joint effort to address illicit economic activities.

He said as members of the SANDF approached the truck for further investigation, a man got out of the vehicle, jumped the fence into the territory of Botswana and fled on foot.

Members of the South African National Defence Force patrolling the border between South Africa and Botswana found a stationery truck loaded with illicit ci******es.

Member of Parliament for Nata-Gweta, Polson Majaga has decried the high costs incurred by politicians during election campaigns.
This as the jury is still out on political party funding which may be finalised in the next parliamentary session in July.

Speaking in an interview with Yarona FM news in Nata today, he said politics in the country are very expensive especially for candidates contesting for constituencies that are wide with poor roads.

The legislator further pointed out that the time for campaigns is running out as it is just four months before the expected date of elections, and that the short duration of campaigns will deem the planned political party funding ineffective.

The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) says it is heading to Jwaneng this coming weekend to carry out training for party cadres to prepare for the upcoming elections.

This comes just a week after another training that the party undertook in Palapye for its cadres and candidates for this year's general elections.

Speaking in an interview with Yarona FM news, party Head of Communications Moeti Mohwasa said the training was a success with attendance that surpassed expectations. This is despite the boycott by coalition partner AP. The party opted to stay away from the training until the issue of ward allocations is resolved.

Party Secretary General, Dr.Phenyo Butale, said the party had received numerous complaints from its council candidates concerning the allocation of ward within the UDC.

Mhwasa however says the workshop achieved its objectives and that candidates are on the right path ahead of the elections. He highlighted that it is critical for the party to go into the general elections with one voice.

U.S. Africa Command General Michael Langley has called on Africa military head to tackle the challenge of the emerging disinformation and misinformation in the continent.

Langley says the weaponization of social media, and the people across Africa are paying the price especially with the last couple of years, and how a direct correlation and connection to an instability across the continent, and with shared values increasingly attacked through disinformation and misinformation.

He said in the last year alone over 180 disinformation campaigns targeting at least 39 African nations, were investigated.

The US military chief said unfortunately, these had already lead to deadly violence, corruption, changes to national relationships, and detriment to civil society.

R**e accused Samuel Selolwane, has applied for bail again.

58 year Selolwane is accused of ra**ng a 13-year-old girl in Oodi. He has been in jail since January when the allegations first surfaced.

Selolwane was previously denied bail due to his refusal to provide blood samples and the need for the child to be placed in safe custody by the social welfare office.

Today, his attorney, Dr Obonye Jonas, applied for bail again after reviewing the social welfare report, which the court had been awaiting and was brought before the court in the last mention.

The bail application will be argued on July 4th when the prosecutor, Ookeditse Seeletso who was absent today, returns to court.

President Mokgweetsi Masisi has urged military heads from the over 43 countries, attending a conference in Gaborone, to desist from overthrowing democratically elected governments.

In the last year, there has been five military takeovers in different African countries, some have suggested that democracy may not be the best form of government on the continent.

Botswana is hosting the first time the U.S. has co-hosted the African Chiefs of Dรฉfense Conference (ACHOD) with Botswana an African nation, and the first time the conference will take place within Africa.

Masisi said to curb these, military chiefs from the continent must respect constitutionally elected governments.

This year marks the first time the U.S. has co-hosted the African Chiefs of Defense Conference (ACHOD) with Botswana an African nation, and the first time the conference will take place within Africa.

Key among issues the military Chiefs are expected to discuss are the forced U.S. troop withdrawals from bases in Niger and Chad and the potential to shift some troops to other nations in West Africa.

U.S. faces a critical inflexion point in Africa. Increasingly, military juntas that overthrew democratic governments in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are reassessing their ties to the U.S. and the West and turning instead to mercenaries linked to Russia for security assistance

The Botswana Congress Party this weekend launched Gaborone South Parliamentary Candidate, Oral Mosedame.

Taking to the podium yesterday, the entrepreneur-cum-politician, Mosedame lamented that some residents who are trying to make an honest living, by the Gaborone dam have been denied some basic human rights, like access to water.

Mosedame further shared his vision to industrialize the area along the dam in a bid to create jobs in line with his partyโ€™s manifesto and as part of development of the Gaborone South constituency which he said has largely been neglected over the years.
