Botswana Congress Party has slammed President Mokgweetsi E. K. Masisi for calling for the removal of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.
In a statement, Botswana Opposition Party Information secretary Mpho M Pheko said Masisi came to Zimbabwe for a State visit not for party business.
This comes after Masisi said: “Botswana continues to call for the removal of sanctions against Zimbabwe… We just came from our elective congress, and ZANU PF was represented very well…. The two ruling parties have relations, we are friends.”
Mpho said Masisi’s attempt to absolve ZANU PF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa from the Zimbabwean crisis is not only an insult to Zimbabweans but an attempt to revise history in the most deceptive way.
Pheko added that the two leaders must provide economic reliefs to Zimbabweans at home to scale down economic migrants in other countries.
