"OPERATION PLECKSY"
While June 27th isn't a widely recognized national holiday or event in Botswana's history, it's notable for a tragic incident in 1985: a South African raid on Gaborone and Tlokweng that resulted in the deaths of 12 people. These raids, carried out by apartheid South Africa, targeted individuals they considered refugees. The event is remembered as a dark day in Botswana's history, with South African authorities claiming it was a response to Botswana's support for anti-apartheid activists.
The South African government, under P.W. Botha, justified the raids as a response to Botswana's perceived support for the African National Congress (ANC), a group fighting against apartheid in South Africa.

From its humble beginnings in 1978, the BVI of today is a company that has grown in leaps and bounds but has not swayed from its founding strategic objectives of firstly ensuring that beef trade in Botswana continues (Botswana Beef is still being exported to the European Union) through control of strategic transboundary animal diseases as well as diseases of public health concern. Through strict adherence to international vaccine standards (OIE), having in place a sound quality management system and customer-centric approach today two thirds of all vaccines produced at BVI are exported annually to over 15 countries in Africa and the Middle East. Many of these countries have been using BVI vaccines for their National annual disease control programs for decades. BVI today has an expanded mandate that now makes it a National, Regional and Global player providing sustainable animal health solutions. BVI is proud to be leading the fight in unlocking Africa’s vast livestock potential by preventing livestock diseases that have for many years hampered growth of this sector.

CROOK OR COOK?

Batswana are yet to enjoy the fruits of their own labor almost a year after they overthrew the long lasting regime out of power. After nearly six decades of BDP rule, the triumphant UDC government has the tough task of restoring sound governance.
P2500 tertiary allowances, P4000 minimum wage, free sanitary pads to mention but a few. Batswana ba santse ba nwa metsi.

GABORONE, July 23 (Reuters) - Botswana is proposing a law that will ask mining companies, once granted a licence, to sell a 24% stake in mines to locals if the government does not exercise its option to acquire the shareholding, a draft bill seen by Reuters on Tuesday shows.

The current Mines and Minerals Act allows the government of Botswana, the world's top diamond producer by value and an emerging copper mining hotspot, to buy a 15% shareholding in any mining project upon being licensed. The existing law gives the government an option to negotiate higher stakes in diamond mines.

The government has, however, foregone that option in all recent mining transactions, including Lucara's (LUC.TO), opens new tab acquisition of Karowe Diamond Mine, the purchase of Khoemacau copper mine by China's MMG and the recently opened Motheo Copper mine owned by Australia’s Sandfire (SFR.AX), opens new tab.

"Where government does not exercise its option of acquiring a 15% working interest upon granting of a mining licence, the holder shall use his best endeavour to dispose the 24% stake to citizens or citizen-owned companies," reads the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill due to be tabled in parliament by mines minister Lefoko Moagi.

Moagi has previously said the government was proposing that funding for Batswana to acquire the stakes could be sourced from the country's pension funds.

The pension funds have recently been asked, through a change in law, to reduce the amount of funds invested offshore from 65% to 50% over the next three years.

The government, through the state-owned Minerals Development Company Botswana, has equity stakes in Debswana Diamond Company (50%), De Beers (15%), Morupule Coal Mine (100%), and indirectly in coal miner Minergy Ltd (MIN.BT), opens new tab through convertible debt advanced to the mine.

DILOMAHIPHI: FROM MERE BRAAI TO EVENT
From the beginning, this was just a come together party made by Snuup, French and other colleagues who contributed P100 each for a braai and took off to the jungle outside Hebron village where there is a quarry. They went there and mounted a good sound system and jammed until sunrise.
At 2018 the team wanted to take the event to something great but some were not interested and therefore they left the group. Snuup and Nkwane(French) remained, and came up with the name DILOMAHIPHI which is a name built from initials of 5 villages, being DITLHARAPENG,LOGAGANE,MAROJANE, HEBRON & PHIHETSHWANE.
"We formed this name because from way back all of us from this villages were partying together ,playing football tournaments together and we almost went to the same schools,so basically we know each other so we wanted keep this growing and growing. We wanted everyone to feel included in this gig going forward." says Snuup.
The entrance has always been free since the much eager Dj realized it is too early to request the fee even though they spend so much to bring the event to the audience. Meanwhile they have started generating income from selling marchandize to our followers. This includes t_shirt,hoodies,beer glasses and caps but he argues that it is not enough to cover operational costs.
In 2019 they staged an event with entrance fee paid at gate but the venue was not good enough as people found their way in at the back. He says place was fulll but they didnt make what we suppose to have made due to that.
The main problem is the venue since their are no good venues this side.
The motive is to make a good event for its people and wants their area to be known out there. "I played at Morobosi and Maretyane Afro Fest in Tswapong twice as dj and got motivated and I then learnt that you can pull a big ground from far far away if u have a good event concept nd thts what we are striving to do." he says.
Additionally,we want to produce good
