What are President Duma Boko’s priorities for Botswana?

Available for over a year

“Tug at my jacket – tell me what needs to be done.” Later today, Botswana’s newly-elected president, Duma Boko, will be inaugurated in Gaborone – but he still found time this week for a discussion of his agenda with Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje. In a wide ranging discussion he talks about signing a new deal with global diamond giant De Beers, how he wants to help people to become entrepreneurs, and why he wants to grant permits to undocumented Zimbabweans to make the system more ‘orderly’ and to allow Batswana to acquire more skills. He also argues that politicians need to be more accessible if they are to do their jobs.
