Morgan Tsvangirai, the leader of Zimbabwean opposition Party, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), is in Botswana to have talks with President Ian Khama.

This has been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "I know that there has been a request from MDC that Tsvangirai will like to visit the country," said Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Clifford Maribe. Tsvangirai left South Africa where Southern African Development Community (SADC) leaders met principally to discuss the Zimbabwean political impasse albeit with little success.

The Vice President and Mahalapye West MP, Mompati Merafhe has said he totally supports government control of the media.

Government has established a task force to investigate illegal operations in the tourism industry, a cabinet minister has said.

The Minister of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism Kitso Mokaila said yesterday that the government is seeking to tighten its grip on the sector, which has been identified as a significant driver of the country's economic diversification efforts. The minister was speaking at the Tourism Pitso 2008 in Gaborone. He said the ministry appointed a task force after players in the industry raised concerns. Already, the recommendations of the task-force have necessitated changes in the Tourism Act.

Apart from looking at ways of curbing illegal operators in protected areas, the task force is looking at the payment levy by non-accommodation tourism enterprises and licencing categories.

"Illegal operations and increased activity by mobile operators, especially in the Northern Protected Areas are still a concern. As a result, the Tourism Board has [continue reading]
