It seems our beloved booze is under attack in Botswana.As expected, there was rare unity in Parliament on Friday when legislators across the political divide backed a motion on the new liquor laws moved by Specially Elected MP Botsalo Ntuane.
The motion calls on the Ministry of Trade and Industry to halt the implementation of the controversial laws pending a comprehensive consultative process with all stakeholders. The laws that drastically reduce entertainment and liquor selling hours come into effect on April 1.
The article seems to indicate that the new laws are likely to be repealed or cut back, but it just goes to show, Temperance is still alive and kicking.

If we spent time teaching kids about liquor, rather then getting opinionated with other adults, you could put a liquir store on every corner and it shouldn't matter...
Preach on, brother.
