WORRIED: Dr Tshabang
Member of Parliament for Nkange, Dr Never Tshabang, has criticised the government for the favouritism, he says, is being given to Indian nationals visiting Botswana.
Tshabang’s comments follow an outcry by Batswana who feel the Indians have been allowed to come into the country despite a devastating COVID-19 variant (B.1.617) surge that has shattered global records for new cases.
Locals have also complained of imposed travel restrictions, yet Indians from a red zone country are allowed to enter the country.
In an interview with The Voice, Dr Tshabang said that the Indians were receiving preferential treatment in Botswana, mainly because their businesses are the main sponsors of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party.
