AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Public Service Reform: Botswana’s proposed performance contracts for Permanent Secretaries are stirring debate over what “performance” should actually mean—rewarding activity or measurable improvements in citizens’ lives. Education & Rights: Teachers’ unions BOSETU and BTU have rejected a motion to reintroduce corporal punishment, warning it’s outdated and could expose educators to legal risk. Student Mobility: The UK says Botswana students applying for Student and Child Student visas won’t need to submit bank statements or other financial documents at the initial stage, though proof may still be required later. Family Wellbeing: A Botswana-linked parenting programme is tied to lower child abuse and better mental health outcomes, with results drawn from a large BMJ Global Health study. Culture & Community: ZCC families affected by the Mmamatlakala bus crash continue navigating uneven Road Accident Fund compensation paths, with some nearing payouts while others face exclusions. Migration & Belonging: Johannesburg taxi associations are tightening checks on migrant drivers, pushing owners to ensure legal documents for work and driving. Global Travel Policy: The US makes its visa bond programme permanent, with Botswana among affected countries—refundable deposits up to $20,000 may be required for certain B1/B2 applicants.
