    Behind the curtain, BDP's old guard closes ranks around Balopi - Weekend Post (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    They move quietly, these grey-haired custodians of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), working the phones and the private rooms rather than the podiums. A cadre of veteran B.D.P. elders has launched a discreet, behind-the-scenes campaign to keep a simmering leadership crisis from tearing the party apart – and, at the heart of their effort, to keep one embattled man in his chair. The elders have thrown their weight behind the party president, Mpho Balopi, urging him to hold firm against a swelli

    DPP blocks Khama's bid to privately pursue Hubona - Weekend Post (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has rejected a bid by former president Lieutenant General Ian Khama to launch a private prosecution against Jako Hubona, an investigator at the centre of Botswana’s sprawling and contentious P100 billion case – a decision that extinguishes one avenue of legal redress while igniting a far thornier constitutional question: if Hubona is to face justice, who is fit to prosecute him?

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fresh FATF Grey-List threat looms over Botswana - Weekend Post (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Botswana is once again under the microscope for its efforts to fight financial crime. A former senior counter-terrorism official has warned that the country risks being placed back on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, or possibly facing the harsher black list, as international assessors prepare to review its anti-money laundering measures. This warning comes ahead of the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG)’s third-round mutual evaluation of Botswana.
