Govt worried about violence along borderline

[PODCAST]

The harrassment of locals along the Botswana-Namibia borderline in the Zambezi region could hinder peaceful coexistence.
Minister of international relations and cooperation Peya Mushelenga said this at a follow-up joint visit with his Botswana counterpart, Lemogang Kwape, to the Zambezi Regional Council at Katima Mulilo yesterday.
He said Zambezi’s border communities have been subjected to harassment and killings at the hands of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) over the years.
Mushelenga and Kwape are expected to undertake a joint visit to the Chobe District Council today, where they are expected to sign a twinning agreement between the two councils.
