Botswana’s new president, Duma Boko, plans to grant temporary work and residence permits to undocumented Zimbabweans. He believes they’re doing essential jobs that locals won’t do. This move aims to revive the economy and reduce tensions. Thousands of Zimbabweans have fled to Botswana due to economic woes. Many face deportation daily. Boko wants to formalize their stay, recognizing their valuable skills. “We need to learn from them,” he says. “They have skills we lack, like welding and plumbing.”
Boko’s priority is creating jobs and improving the economy. He plans to sign a new deal with De Beers, creating 100,000 jobs annually.
