2 ya definition ya society in this particular law, and if I may quote Honourable Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Yes please.

On Clause 2, and I quote “Society means any association of 150 or more persons for a religious society and 20 or more persons for any other society formed primarily for raising or disbursing funds for purposes of such as charitable, religious, cultural, educational, social and fraternal purposes.” So it seems like political parties are excluded Honourable Molebatsi, what do you think about this Clause, and if so political parties o akanyetsa gore di ya kae, ka gore kgang e ke tsaya gore you discussed it at Cabinet?
Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.
MR MOLEBATSI: Ga ke dumele gore the political parties are excluded le fa ke tshwara Clause e o e buang gompieno, mme fela an association of 150 people or more, moo ke kereke akere for religious society and 20 people or more formed primarily for raising, disbursing funds for purposes of charitable religious cultural, educational, social or fraternal purposes, ga se gore mme political parties di ka ...(inaudible)… under social, ka gore social go raya gore re kopanngwa ke mogopolo mongwe, nna le Honourable Leuwe le bo Rre Rakgare, Honourable Moagi fa, mogopolo wa rona o mongwe fela ke wa seDomkrag.

E bo e le gore fa o sena go dira profit ya gago o bo o re busetsa madi a rona ka terms tse di rileng.

Jaanong ke fete ka Clause nngwe e re kileng ra e bua maabane e Honourable Ramogapi a neng a bua ya gore a go ka se ke ra dira society kwano e golagane le society e nngwe kwa lefatsheng le lengwe.

Ke sone se re neng re se bua gore society fa e le mo Botswana e tshwanetse gore e nne le constitution ya yone re bone gore e batla go dira jang.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Honourable Ramogapi.

Honourable Members, the question persists as to whether we do not know if we are now dealing with the Clauses, the comprehension of this Bill clearly indicates where political parties fall.
Are they as in the present Act, societies because under the present law, even though they are exempted, they are societies.

Under the proposed Bill, would they be registrable as societies with membership as defined that if you are an Member of Parliament (MP), a Councillor, in the Ntlo ya Dikgosi, you cannot be a Member where exactly is the understanding of where the political parties will be.
Fortunately, the Minister in her own right is a trained lawyer, she could also help us but we have Parliamentary Counsel who is neutral and fa Mmaetsho Mma Kokoro if you had time to reflect on the matter, you might give your opinion to the House concerning the position of political parties under the present law and the proposal.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Mr Speaker, if you can give an opportunity as you are saying, that explanation should be given regarding political parties under the Societies Act.
If you can give me that opportunity now, so that I can address it.

6 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022SOCIETIES BILL, 2021 (NO.

38 OF 2021)Second Reading (Resumed Debate) MR SPEAKER: Yes Minister because I do not want you to go into the debate, gongwe ba repeat same arguments when there is an explanation.

Please Minister, go ahead.

MINISTER OF NATIONALITY, IMMIGRATION AND GENDER AFFAIRS (MS MOKGETHI): I think it can assist us in the debate Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Gongwe ga a nkutlwa.


Minister ra re it is appropriate that you explain so the House can understand the position which worries them, that henceforth fa ba debate, ba bo ba itse, ba tlhalogantse gore gatwe seemo e tlaabo e le sefe.

So have the floor Honourable Minister.

MS MOKGETHI: Thank you Mr Speaker, for giving me that opportunity.

Honourable Ramogapi and Honourable Tshere have made appropriate observation.
I will start with the definition under Section 2 of the society and you will note that it excludes political party.

Even under the current Societies Act, the one which is currently operational, political parties are not included in the definition of the society.

The Registrar of Society only have the right to register political societies but not to regulate them.
So we are going to move an amendment for the removal of Section 6 1(a), 7 (a) and 9 1(a) on the basis that a special dispensation will be made later on that will register and regulate political parties.

So with that sir, I hope that will clear the midst regarding the issue of political parties.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: A ko o e soboke ka segarona re go tlhaloganye ka ba bangwe Sekgoa se mo gongwe se a re tsietsa.
Wa re maikaelelo ke gore pheletsong ka fa tlase ga Molao-kakanyetso o... MS MOKGETHI: Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ke leka go tlhalosa gore fa tlase ga Section 2, e e tlhalosang gore makgotla ke a mohuta o o ntseng jang.

O tlaa lemoga gore fa re bua ka definition ya society, o tlaa bona gore makgotla a sepolotiki ga a tsenngwa mo teng.

Le fa re lebeletse the Societies Act e e mo tirisong mo nakong e, ga e a tsenya diphathi tsa sepolotiki mo teng.
In fact, ka fa e kwalegileng ka teng mo motsotsong o, mo molaong o e leng gore o mo tirisong gone jaanong, e a bua gore Societies Act ga e a akaretsa diphathi tsa sepolotiki mme gone fela e ne e letlelela kwadiso ya tsone.

Jaanong ka gore re na le maikaelelo a gore go ye go nna le thulaganyo e sele mabapi le kwadiso, taolo le tsamaiso ya diphathi tsa sepolotiki go raya gore go ya go dirwa thulaganyo e e faphegileng mme di tswe fa tlase ga the Societies Act.
Ka jalo maikaelelo a rona ke gore re ntshe 6 1(a), 7 1(a) le 9 1(a) jaaka go kwalegile mo Bill e e fa pele ga rona batlotlegi.

Ke ne ke re ke tlhalose fela jalo.

Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Honourable Minister.

So there you are Honourable Members, the Minister is going to come with amendments to try and sort out as far as the ...(Inaudible)… possible, the issue raised by Honourable Ramogapi and other Honourable Members regarding political parties.
So if we debate with that understanding, I do not think we should belabour the points, we can certainly return to it when we go to committee ...(Inaudible)… A re tsweleleng batlotlegi.

MINISTER OF TERTIARY EDUCATION, RESEARCH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (DR LETSHOLATHEBE): Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ba tlhaloganye gore if you join society eo, o nne le dithata tsa go tlhaloganya gore a mme e kwadisitswe sentle, sengwe le sengwe se tsamaya sentle.

Mo go raya gore bone ba ba exempted ba, ke bone ba re iphitlhelang bo FATF ba re tlhodumetse, ba re bolelela gore ga re dire dilo sentle ka gore bone ba ba exempted ba, ke bone ba tshenyetso-setšhaba yotlhe, bo money laundering bo eng, Sekgoa sotlhe sa tshenyo, se ba kgobokanetseng.

Ke tsone dilo tse re ntseng re di bua.


Jaaka o bona fela le fa re dira melao, principle eo e santse e le teng e le ntsi.

Ga re itse gore a re ntse re emetse gore FATF e tle gape e re reye e re nnyaa, declaration of assets and abilities e le e dirileng ele ke setshosa fela, ga se yone jaaka re tshwanelwa ke go e dira.
Ka fa re dirang dilo ka teng in piece meal, go supa gore tota ga re ise re nne le tumelo ya gore re tshwanelwa ke go dira dilo, re di direle mo pontsheng, mongwe le mongwe a bona gore yo o dirang eng, yo ga a dire eng.

Re bua re le mo lefatsheng, fela ka gore mme gatwe re busa re le nosi ga le ka ke la re gakolola, ga re a pataganela Puso.

Ke jone bothata jo re nang le jone mo lefatsheng le.

Mr Speaker, motho o ka re kana Bill e, rightly so, e ganeletse mo tshenyetsong-setšhaba; mo go fitlheng kana mo go tlhatsweng madi, e ganeletse mo tshenyetsong-setšhaba e e tsamaelanang thata le madi kana le itsholelo (economic crimes).
Go botlhokwa thata Tona gore fa re sena go nna le feta ka Bill e, o tle ka Bill e e tlaa ganelelang mo a number of immorality acts tse di diragalang mo societies thatathata di dirwa ke baeteledipele.

Go botlhokwa thata gore fa re fetsa ka e, o tle ka Bill e e tileng to address dilo tseo.
Re a leletswa kgapetsakgapetsa ke bomme a re mogolwane o nitirile jaana, ke kopa thuso, mapodise ba a mo tshaba.

Fa o re o botsa mapodise ba re, mme kana fa o lebile melao ya rona e, ga go na sepe se re ka bo charge ka sone ka go diragetse ka fa bone ba neng ba ntse ba tsweletse ba dira ka teng.

Fa re ka nna le go tlhodumela, re bone gore re ka sireletsa batho jang, go ka siama.
Morago ga Bill e Tona, go botlhokwa thata gore o tle ka dilo tse di ka lekang go sireletsa batho ba ba tsenelelang mekgatho e, maloko a mekgatho e, kwa ntle ga go lebelela itsholelo fela.
Mr Speaker, motho fa a lebile Clause 7, le fa Tona a re o ya go tla ka Tshutiso ya go ntsha fale le fale, a ntsha sepolotiki mo teng a ya go dira Bill e ntšha e e tlaa lebaganang le sepolotiki, mme tse dingwe tse di setseng mo teng, to a certain extent they are unconstitutional because fa o re o ya go tlhophela societies gore baeteledipele ba bone ke bomang, gone moo fela ka bogone thatathata o lebile mafoko a a tshwanang le bo go reng motho fa a kile a tsena kgolegelo, a senya kana a atlholwa mo dingwageng tse 10 tse di fetileng, ga a tshwanela go ka etelela society, what are we saying ka gore gone kwa dikgolegelong, re leka go dira mo gotweng rehabilitation, go fetola batho maikutlo.
Ra re fa ba tswa kwa ba tle ba kgone go tsenya letsogo mo go tsamaiseng lefatshe, ba betle itsholelo ya lefatshe.

Jaanong fa e le gore ra rialo ka kwa bo prisons, fa re pota ka fa re tla gape re re batho bao ga ba a tshwanela gore ba ka nna baeteledipele ba ka reng, ga ke dumele gore Molaomotheo jaaka re ya go o dira, le fa o ntse jaaka o ntse gompieno, fa motho a ka itsheka fela sentle o ka tlhoka go fenya jang.
E lebelele Tona clause eo, kana ke mokang o fang John ka letsogo la moja, o bo o boa o tsaya ka letsogo la molema.

Re bua ka fa ra re a batho ba dire jaana, ka fa ra re a ba se ka ba dira jaana, mme re bua selo se le sengwefela mo mothong a le mongwefela.

A re ageng batho, re se ka ra ba kgetholola go ya go ileng.

Dikotlhao tse dingwe, diphoso tse dingwe, phoso e tona mme diphoso tse dingwe ke tse motho a ikagang, motho ka boene fela ke motho yo o tshelang le phoso le go baakanya.
Clause 7 Tona, ke dumela gore is unfair to the societies.

Re lebile gore jaaka re le mo screen Batswana ba re lebile jaana, re melato, re na le dikgang fa tse di kwa Makgotlatshekelo le kwa Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) tse di kwa kae, mme rona re bona go siame fela gore re ka nna mo Khuduthamageng, re ka nna Mapalamente re ntse re na le dikgang tse di tse di ntseng jalo tse di tshwerweng fela ke gore re fa, fa re re ne re se fa re ka bo gongwe re disitse poo kwa.

Fa o lebelela Bill e re neng re tswa mo go yone maloba e ne e bua ka gore motho o ka atlholwa P100,000 kana o ka ya dingwaga tse tharo kwa toronkong.

Dilo tse ga di nyalane.

14 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022SOCIETIES BILL, 2021 (NO.

38 OF 2021)Second Reading (Resumed Debate) MR MAJAGA (NATA-GWETA): Ke a go leboga Mr Speaker, ke go dumedise ke dumedise le Batlotlegi Mapalamente.
I would not be long on this Bill, segolo jang Tona a tlhalositse gore Section 6 and 7 ba tlaa bona gore go tlaa dirwa some amendments.

Ke tsone tse e neng e kete di tshwenya batho ka bontsi le nna ke le mo teng.

Ke ema to support this Bill.

Ke Molao- kakanyetso o montle thata gore o bo o dirwa mo dinakong tse.
Ke re kana tota melao e yotlhe fa o ka e lebelela ke go lomaganya, segolo jang matshwenyego a e leng gore tota a gwetlhiwa ke melao e e tlang ka Mme Serame, Minister of Finance e e tsamaelanang le money laundering.

Tota ke go gobokanya gore go se ka ga tswa phatlha epe e e kareng fa melao e yotlhe e le mo tirisong ra bona diemo tsa money laundering le tse dingwe jalojalo di diragala ka bokete jaaka re ne re bona di diragala mo lefatsheng le.
Re a rialo ka gore o bona some world ratings, ke tsone di go supegetsang gore tota go ntse go na le a serious challenge.

Le maloba fa re nna grey listed o ne o bona gore there is something that as the National Assembly of Botswana kana re le baeteledipele, we must do something urgently.

Ke tshwanetse go leboga seo gore the Minister has acted urgently to address this through coming up with amendments and these Bills.
This Societies Bill is very important like other Members ba ba buileng pale ga me ba buile ka mabaka a gore re a bona malatsinyana gore we lose a lot of money in taxes mo e leng gore people even companies ba ba nang le mangwe maikaelelo a go tshaba go duela taxes tse di tsamaisang lefatshe, ba register these societies and other things like trusts jaaka re itse gore ya trust le yone, Trust Property Control Bill le yone is one of those tse e leng gore di etla.
Fa ba sena go dira jalo, ba a bo ba tshaba taxes, mo e leng gore fa o tsaya tax fela ka bontsi, ke tsone tse e leng gore, I think it is the first, ke tsone tsa letseno la ntlha la go tlisa madi.
Such things ka bogone fela, it is very important gore Tona a bo a bone go tshwanetse gore a baakanye molao o o amanang le lephata la gagwe mme re e gokaganya le melao-kakanyetso e e sa nkeng e tla ka nako, e e thusang lefatshe go ya pele, re sena mangwe matshosetsi a these terrorist organisations tse di ipatlang kana tse di iphetsolang jaana bolwetse jo ja COVID-19.
Kana these terrorist organisations ba iphetsola fela ka go dirisa tsone trusts, societies, ba bo ba nna ba build up like we have seen as an example kwa Mozambique, o ipotsa gore lekgotla fela le ka nna le madi a a kanakana, a e leng gore mafatshe a ka ya go le kgobokanela lebaka le le kana mme ba nna le resistance.

So mo o bonang gore power tota yone in short fela ke madi.

Le ba e leng gore ba a bo ba filwe dithata tseo ke molao.

Those are just two things.


Jaanong fa o bona lekgotla le ntse jaana, le sa tlhophiwa ka molao, le sena President, le sena eng, le sena madi ka nngwe tsela e e leng gore le dira itsholelo, jaaka makgotla one a re a itseng jaaka ke ne ke e fa sekai ka ditsoulodi tsa kwa Mozambique, o a bo o bona gore sengwe se teng se se supang gore ba a bo ba tlaa na le mashetla one ao.
To dismantle such terrorist organisations, le yone terrorism e e leng gore re e bona e tla ka metlhale ya botlhale kana ya matlhale a a tseneletseng, ke gore re tle re le lefatshe, rona re tlhape diatla and guide our nation ka go dira such laws.
Maabane ke letse ke bua ke re melao e e tsile ka nako e e siameng ka gore fa e tlile ka ngwaga one o, we are going to debate them re e fetisa go na le nako, Tautona a e saena, unlike e ka tla ka 2023/2024, mo e leng gore such an important Bill e bo e ya go tlhoka batho mo Palamenteng.

Ke letse ke bua jalo.

Ba buile ka dibolo, metshelo, ke yone e e tletseng kwa magaeng.
Fa o tsena mo bo Gweta, Nata, mme malatsinyana a these burial societies, mo dikgaolong tsa me o fitlhela le bone ba gotweng ke bone beng ba tsone, fa gotwe go a amogelwa fela mo o bonang gore madi ke mathata, ba a bo ba le foo.

Fa gotwe Ipelegeng e a amogela, ba a bo ba le foo.

Gotwe ke bone bangwe ba di societies.

Jaanong ke re go tlaa re go nne le thuto.

Tota dedicated offices tse di tshwanang tsa bo molaodi mo metseng ya magae, le bone ba nne ba ntse ba re ...(inaudible)… mo matshelong a batho.
Ba fete ka tsone gore Batswana ba itse because it is going to take time o itse the few mme bone ba sa itse gore tshireletsego ya bone ke eng.

Fa go nnang le madi Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke a tle ke bone go le mo Kgotleng, fa gotwe koloi ya Tandabala e etla kana go na le bangwe ba ba amogelang, batho ba kgona go re siya foo o bona gore dipelo tsa bone di kwa mading.
So o a bona gore ga se ka nako ele ya Majuta kwa Dibaebeleng le bo Jesu; ba ba itseng Baebele, rona re ka itse di sele e seng tsone tseo tsa bo Letsholathebe.

O a bona fela gore nnyaa madi a powerful go le kana kang.

Dibolo le tse dingwe fela jalojalo, tse e leng gore ke mekgatlho e e rileng, re a tle re bone batho ba sponsor fela for the Christmas football, madi a mantsi fela le wena o bona gore ... gompieno ba simolotse.
Mo dikgaolong tse di tshwanang le tsa rona, ba tlisa madi a mantsi le a campaigns, kana tsone ga di nke di ema, mme o bo o bona gore ah, le fa gotwe go sponsored football fa, bothata ke jo.

Jaanong ke dilo tse re di itseng.

Kana re ne re dira molao o fela re lebile mo ditoropong, kwa re itseng gore go na le batho ba bantsi teng?

Le nna jalo Mr Speaker, ke bona palo ya 150 e le palo e e kwa godimo.
I need to tell this Honourable House gore ka nako ele ya bo 1994 re le ma-land board, re ne ra rontsha batho ditsha ka bontsi ba batla go baya ditsha tsa dikereke, re dumela mo go reng kereke ya gago e tshwanetse e bo e kwadisitse batho ba le 250.

I think subject to be corrected, ope yo o tlaa nna le kitso, but I believe ka nako eo re ne re re 250 should be the minimum.

Jaanong ka tsela e e ntseng jalo Mr Speaker, re godile, re rutegile e bile re ikepetse thata mo tumelong re le lefatshe le.
A go tswa ka dingwaga tseo go tla go tsena gompieno jaaka Rre Molao a ne a bua gore, around 2016 it was 150 rraetsho, Mr Speaker, fa re lebile seemo sa gompieno re dumela gore COVID-19 e re rutile dilo tse dintsi tse, why can we not believe that COVID-19 has also taught us about Christianity attendance, and taught us to drop the number to be 50 and equally ka tsela e e ntseng jalo, go raya gore we should …(Inaudible)… come up with another way when we register these churches.
It will be frank for any society to…(Inaudible)… 50 people gore e kgone gore e nne kereke e e tlhabologileng.

Mr Speaker, molao o o tlang re tlaabo re lebile gore whether a society e na le batho ba le kae, a ga e ye go nna lekgotla le dirukutlhi di ka tsenang ka yone.

We need to bear that in mind Mr Speaker.

E nngwe ke go supa gore…(inaudible)…mokaulengwe, I think that is Section 7c (i), a criminal offence within …(inaudible)… Botswana, go buiwa gore o ya go rontshiwa to register mokgatlho.
Mr Speaker, le yone fela jalo, maybe I misinterpreted what is written here and equally anybody there may correct me.

What are we saying, ra re batho ba ba tswang kwa toronkong ba tshwanetse go amogelesega within their communities, but at the same time, people …(inaudible)… fa motho a tswa koo, whatever the rehabilitation may be, but fa motho a tswa kwa toronkong ba re ga o ka ke wa nna le mokgatlho, ga o ka ke wa etelela mokgatlo pele, is this what we are saying?
Where are we going, what are we teaching our people?

Let us be honest, what we are saying to our communities out there could be something that practically as law makers we have to put it ka fa molaong, gore batho ba kgone go tlhaloganya thulaganyo ya gore, indeed the Government of the day o na le keletso ya go batla go bona gore e se ka ya re kamoso motho a bo a na le maikutlo a go boela mo toronkong.

Mr Speaker, e re ntswa kgantele kgang e ya kwadiso ya parties e builwe ka bophara, but I want to be honest to myself, maybe I failed to understand somewhere, somehow.
I think ke Clause 2 e e neng e supa gone fa e bua ka …(inaudible)… Rre Molebatsi was just hanging around a ya kwa le kwa, le nna a ntsentse mo pitlaganong fa a ne a bua gore, fa re bua ka parties tsa sepolotiki, re bua ka social activity or …(inaudible)… I was listening attentively to kgang ya teng, but I am sorry to say I failed to get exactly se go neng go buiwa ka sone.
Mr Speaker, re bona Trusts di kwadisiwa, tota fela jaaka ke sa tswa go bua fela jaaka ka dikereke, I feel gore…sorry sir o batla go bua sengwe Honourable Molebatsi?

Se se tona ke go supa gore he was not denied registration because the Registrar does not register political parties.
Melao yotlhe e re dirileng dipaakanyo mo go yone, ke mabapi le bogakolodi jo bo neng bo tswa kwa FATF.

Re dumela gore ke tsone tse di ka kganelang mekgatlho e e ikemetseng ka nosi gore e dirisiwe botlhaswa mo dikgannyeng tsa gore go fete madi a a leswe kana ba dirisiwe for terrorism financing.

Rre Letsholathebe o ne a bua gore lephata la me le tshwanetse le tsamaye le rute setšhaba sa Botswana ka kakaretso ka dikgang tsa money laundering and terrorism financing.

Ka boammaaruri re dira fela jalo.


Ke itse gore lephata la me le ne la dira maiteko a mantsi, ke fa sekai; go kopana le baruti ba dikereke kana baeteledipele ba dikereke to sensitise them ka dikgang tsa money laundering and terrorism financing.

Re ba bontsha, mme re ba ruta gape gore kana re ba neela dikai tsa gore mekgatlho ya bone e ka dirisiwa jang botlhaswa mo dikgannyeng tse.

Ba ka dirisiwa ke dirukutlhi, mme tota go bua boammaaruri, makgotla ka bontsi ke ba ba setseng molao morago.
Ba a re thusa go hema gore melato e e se ka ya dirisiwa kana dirukutlhi di se ka tsa dirisa dikereke le mekgatlho e mengwe gore e dirisiwe botlhaswa.

Ke leboge Honourable Majaga ka fa a neng a akgela ka teng, ke dumalana le ene gore mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse go ema ka dinao, re emeng rotlhe kana mmogo mo dikgannyeng tsa go lwantsha borukutlhi jo re bo bonang jwa terrorism financing, money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.

Jaanong tota His Honour the Vice President (VP) o setse a gakolotse gore re se ka ra ikitaya tsebe ka go akgela dikgang tse dingwe tse e leng gore ga re a di tlela gompieno, mme se setona.

Bangwe ba ne ba bua ka dikgang tsa section e e neng e bua ka motho yo o atlholetsweng molato mongwe.

Ke tlhalose gore go a letlelesega gore re ka hema gore motho yo o mo komiting kana mo go bidiwang gotwe to be an office bearer or the holder of office gore a se ka a nna le a criminal record.
Gongwe le gongwe go na le makgotla a mantsintsi a mo nakong e, ke condition ya gore fa o batla tiro kana fa o batla go tsenelela mokgatlho wa rona, o se ka wa nna motho yo o nang le a criminal record.
Fa e le gore motho o tswa kwa toronkong, o setse a feditse to serve sentence ya gagwe kwa toronkong, ga go reye gore motho wa teng is necessarily rehabilitated, mme standards tse re di beileng ke tsone tse di batliwang ke FATF, mme re diragatsa recommendations tsa bone mo dikgannyeng tsa mofuta o o ntseng jaana.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification Minister.


MS MOKGETHI: So even if fa o ka ya kwa … (Interruptions)… mongwe le mongwe wa rona mo dikgaolong tsa rona, re na le Village Development Committees (VDCs), pele ga motho a ka nna leloko la VDC, o tshwanetse gore a ye go tsewa finger prints go bona gore a o na le a criminal record… MR SPEAKER: Honourable Lucas is asking for clarification, Minister.

MS MOKGETHI: Ke santse ke leka go tlhalosa fa; tla ke fetse ke tlaa tla ke go neela chance.
Ga go na standard se re ka se bayang go itse gore a motho has been rehabilitated kana jang, so whether you are rehabilitated or not is not the issue.

The issue here is compliance with the standards and recommendations tse di beilweng ke ba FATF gore re kgone go tswa mo grey listing, mme gore re dire molao o re ne re itebagantse le kgang ya gore re tswe mo grey listing.

Bangwe ba rona ba ne ba ngongoregela dikotlhao tse di beilweng mo molaong.
Dikotlhao tseo go beilwe maximum fine and maximum term of imprisonment, mme ke supe gore the Registrar of Societies o na le a wide discretion ya gore a lebelele gore molato o o dirilweng, a ke o monnyennyane kana o mogolo.

Jaanong ke ene yo o ka dirisang discretion ya gagwe go bona gore whether he fines you P1,000, P5,000 kana P50,000 yo o beilweng, mme a lebile molato o o dirilweng.
Ke ne ke re ke tlhalose fela jalo gore Registrar o dira tshekatsheko ya gagwe, a lebile case yone eo kana case by case assessment gore a beye dikatlholo tseo.

Tla ke arabe yo o batlang clarification.

Ga ke a bona gore ke mang Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

BILL PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

39 OF 2021) Second Reading MINISTER OF DEFENCE, JUSTICE AND SECURITY (MR MMUSI): Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ke go dumedise, ke dumedise maloko a Palamente mo letsatsing la gompieno.
Mr Speaker, the object of the Bill is to amend the Proceeds and Instruments of Crime Act to strengthen it by aligning it with other anti- money laundering, counter financing of terrorism and counter proliferation financing laws.

The Proceeds and Instruments of Crime Act was enacted in 2014.

The proposal contained in the Bill will; (a) Align the Act with the Financial Intelligence Act and, (b) Enhance the freezing and seizing of proceeds and instruments of crime.
Mr Speaker, the Bill has 4 Clauses summarised as follows; Clause 2, redefines funds and property to include virtual assets and introduces a definition of virtual assets to align with other laws.

It is worth noting at current the definitions of proceeds and funds are limited in scope, and do not include other emerging technologies such as virtual assets and the use of crypto currencies.

It further defines prescribed investigator to address the … MR SPEAKER: I think we have lost you Minister.
MR MMUSI: …Clause 3 amends Section 20.2 to allow for an application for substitution of confiscated or forfeited property to extend to property of corresponding value.

Clause 4 extends for future of currency to include export declaration and non-declaration.

The current law only provides for import declaration.
Clause 5 introduces a new Section which authorises any person who is not a specified party, accountable institution and having possession of a property of a nationally listed person or structured group, or (b) property of a designated person or entity to give control and possession thereof to the receiver.

Mr Speaker, I beg to move that the Proceeds and Instruments of Crime (Amendment) Bill, 2021 (No.

39 of 2021) be read a second time.

I thank you Mr Speaker.


MR KEORAPETSE (SELEBI PHIKWE WEST): Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ga ke na makgwere a mantsi le se Tona a lekang go se dira mabapi le Molao-kakanyetso o a re o beileng pele wa Proceeds and Instruments of Crime (Amendment) Bill, 2021 (No.

39 of 2021).

30 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.
39 OF 2021) Second Reading Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, kana maikaelelo a molao o ke go leka gore go tseelwe dithoto tsa maduo a bogodu.

E ka nna maduo a bogodu jwa dithoto tsa Puso, mo batho ba bonweng molato wa corruption kana economic crime, e ka nna melato e e tsamaelanang le bo diritibatsi le bo eng, ke gore dithoto fela tse di bonweng ka tsela e e sa tlhamalelang, tota maikaelelo a matona ke go sireletsa itsholelo le mmaraka wa madi.
Se sengwe ke gore kana molao o ke go leka go kgontsha ba law enforcement agencies gore dithoto tse di belaelwang gore di bonwe ka bogodu, di name di tshegeditswe go santse go lekwa go bonwa gore go ka dirwa jang kwa makgotleng a ditsheko.

Jaaka ke tlhalosa, molao o maikaelelo ke to deal le financial and economic crimes.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke dumalana le dipaakanyo tse Tona a setseng a di buile bogolo jang ya gore dithoto jaanong di akaretsa le virtual assets tse re neng re bua ka tsone mo malatsing a se kae a a fetileng.
Fa ke sena go bua jalo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke kopa gore ke dire dintlha di le pedi, ya ntlha ke bue Honourable Mmusi ka regulated institutions, ya bobedi ke batla go bua ke itebagantse le lekgotla le le tlhamiwang ke one molao o e bong la Office of the Receiver, ke tsone dintlha tse pedi tse ke neng ke batla go feta ka tsone.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, tumelo ya rona ke gore molao o le melao e mengwe fela e e lebaganyeng le corruption and economic crime, e tshwanetse go itebaganya le makalana one a re ka reng ke the regulated institutions.
Fa o ka kwalega sentle le regulations tsa kwalega sentle, le melao e mengwe ya nonotshiwa ya bo Corruption and Economic Crime Act, Central Bank Regulations le e mengwe e e tshwanang le bo Penal Code le wa Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), e e tshwanetse gore e tlame makalana otlhe a a tsamaisiwang ka fa molaong gore a thuse mo go reng dithoto tse di bonwang ka borukutlhi go bonwe gore di a kganelwa.
In trying to explain it ke gore kana makgotla a tsamaisiwa ka fa molaong for purposes of licensing and compliance.

Ke bua ka makalana a a tshwanang le dibanka, tse e leng gore gantsintsi tsone they are already taken care of ka bone bo banking regulations le tse dingwe, money transfers, lending institutions jaaka micro lenders, car dealership, real estate companies tse di rekisang mantlo le commercial properties.
Diagente go akaretswa attorney, conveyancers le notaries, le makalana a Puso a a akaretsang bo registry.

The point I am trying to make Honourable Speaker is that, bontsi jwa batho fa ba bona madi ka bogodu, a ba a bona e le bribes tsa corruption, ba a siana ba ya go aga mantlo, ba reka dipolase ba aga mantlo mo go tsone.
Fa gongwe ba abetswe dipolase ke Goromente, ba tlaabo ba siana e le gore ba ya go fitlha madi koo ka go tlhabolola dipolase ba epa didiba, ba agelela, ba aga masaka, ba aga mantlo ba bo ba dira ditlhabololo ka go farologana gone koo.

Ba bangwe ba ya go reka dikoloi, as I shall demonstrate fa ke bua ka the Office of the Receiver.

What I am saying ke gore, an obligation must be placed on all these regulated institutions because tsotlhe di tsamaisiwa ka fa molaong.
An obligation must be placed mo go bone gore ba report suspicious transactions.

Motho a se ka a tla a tshotse kgetsi ya madi a bo a tla a tsena kwa Lesedi a re ke tlile go reka Range Rover cash.

An obligation must be placed on that regulated institution which is a car dealership, gore e report gore motho ke yo o tshwere beke ya madi.
Fa e le transaction e e dirwang ka banka, of course the bank le yone is under obligation under anti-money laundering regulations tsa Central Bank gore ba report suspicious transactions.

You see, motho o kgona go tsaya kgetsi ya madi a bo a ya kwa Mogoditshane a tsamaya a reka dikoloi tse tsa difongkong.

An incentive ya bone ba ba rekisang dikoloi tse, ba bangwe, ke se ka ka ba akaretsa botlhe, ke gore kana ba tila lekgetho, jaanong that is why o kare ba enticed gore they can accept cash.
Ke gone go tila lekgetho.

So, number one; let us place an obligation ya gore motho fa a tla ka madi a selebego se se rileng, go nne le a reporting mechanism ya gore, le fa e se gore go leletswa kwa mapodiseng gore motho ke yo re belaela gore ke legodu, but place an obligation ya gore, go nne le gongwe a registry ya go itse gore ee re na le batho ba ba kana ba ba rekileng dithoto tse di ntseng jaana ka cash.
Tota e bile, kana FATF le ESAAMLG ba ngongorega ka gore lefatshe la Botswana is largely a cash country.

Jaanong gone moo, ga re ka leka fela gore re tsene mo swiping machines, e le gore tsone transactions tseo di feta ka dibanka, di kgona to be traced, re ka ya golo gongwe.

Suspicious transactions must be well defined Honourable Mmusi and must be described fully, gore go itsege gore makalana a regulated institutions, ba itse gore a suspicious transaction ke e e lebegang e ntse jang.
Ka e bile o ka se ke o e bone fela mo go motlhofo, mme o kare gongwe fa e le defined kana described e bo e le gore e go nna botoka.

Try as much as possible when developing molao o gore go nne le heavy penalties for those who do not report suspicious transactions.

Go na le batho ba ba lebisitsweng melato, mme bangwe 31 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.
39 OF 2021) Second Reading ba bone ba tsene kwa car dealerships ba reka dikoloi tsa magasigasi.

Ba tsene mo the real estate agency ba reka matlo.

They have registered properties kwa Deeds.

Jaanong ke sone se ke reng go diragetse jang, mme fa re ka nonotsha makalana a ka melao, in placing obligations tsa reporting, re ka nna le tshono ya gore jaanong this regulated institution they can serve as a buffer ya gore ba kganele a suspicious transaction.
My second point Mr Speaker is this, ka di 31st March, 2021, office ya ga Receiver, e e leng gore ke yone e e tholwang ke Molao-kakanyetso that we are dealing with gompieno, e supa gore e amogetse kana e ile kwa court ga nna… ke gore go na le 30 court orders, as at March 31, 2021.

Mo court orders tse, di le five di ne tsa felela kwa makgotleng, mme ga laolwa gore dithoto tse di busetswe kwa go ba di neng di tsewa kwa go bone.
Jaanong these 30 court orders fa o lebelela comparison e e supang gore go raya gore mathata a rona a financial and economic crimes a a gola; 2019/2020, that financial year, go ne go na le court orders di le 21; 2018/2019 di le 16; and then go tla go tsena ka 31st March 2021, we had about 30 cases.

Gongwe re re 25 re ntshe tse five that lekgotla deal with.

Jaanong Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, go lebega e le gore go na le mathata fa re lebelela ka fa dilo di tsamayang ka teng.
Ke gore fa o lebelela mo bogompienong, go supa gore, mo court orders tse 30, fa o lebelela madi a e leng gore, kana value ya assets tse e leng gore Receiver o di tsere, a re ke belaela gore dithoto tse ke tsa borukuthi, the total value ke madi a a kana ka P189 637 791.30.

So ampore P200 Million worth of assets tse e leng gore Receiver o di tshwere, a re, dithoto tse ke tse di bonweng ka tsela e e leng gore ga e a tlhamalala.

Dithoto tse ke eng?
Dithoto tse ke eng?

Ke madi, ke residential properties, mme fa o di lebelela tse, go supa gore madi e ka nna P109 338 276.00.

Go bo go nna le matlo a a ka nnang P41 Million plus.

Go bo go nna le commercial properties tse di fetang P15 Million.

Go bo go nna le industrial properties, mo go tshwanang bo warehouses le eng.

Tsone di feta P4 Million.

Go na le dikgomo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Dikgomo tse go supa gore di lopa madi a a fetang P1,5 Million.
Go na le dikoloi, Receiver o supa gore di feta madi a a kana ka P12.6 Million.

Go bo go nna le dithoto tse dingwe tse di akaretsang equipments tse di ka nnang tsa bo Agriculture le tse dingwe.

Jaanong, selo se se supa eng Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente?

Se supa gore go raya gore go na le mathata a dikgang tsa fiscal and revenue kinds.

Go na le mathata a money laundering, corruption mo lefatsheng la Botswana.
Ke ikuela mo go wena o le Honourable Mmusi ka gore, ba a supa ba office ya ga Receiver gore, ga ba na batho ba ba nang le boitseanape jo bo kwa godimo ja go ka sekaseka movable assets, ke gore dithoto.

Jaanong ba supa gore gompieno ga ba na valuers for movable personal property kwa ntle ga dikoloi, ka gore tsone o kgona gore o ye kwa Roads kana go na le ba bangwe ba ba kgonang to value them.

Go setse go na le mathata, mo gongwe mo ke estimated values, jaaka tse tsa bo dikgomo.
Kana leruo fela le e leng gore office ya Receiver o le tshwere, ke ne ke bua ka value ya lone, mme palo ya lone as at 31st March 2021, e ne e le 377 animals, tse di mo diatleng tsa ga Receiver, a di tlhatlhetse mo polaseng.

Kana gone mo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, go a tlhokafala gore a re nonotsheng lekgotla le la the Office of the Receiver, gore Receiver a kgone go itse the full value ya dithoto tse e leng gore o di tshwere.
E nngwe ke kgang ya gore, office e go supega e le gore ga e na law enforcement officers ba e leng gore…tota ba ikaegile thata ka makalana a mangwe a Puso, gore e nne bone that executes court orders.

Jaanong gone mo ba re, kana go ka felela go dira gore dithoto tse ba di belaelang gore di ka tswa di bonwe ka bogodu, kana le lekgotla le rurifaditse gore di bonwe ka bogodu, go raya gore di ka nna tsa fitlhiwa kana tsa isiwa golo gongwe.
Fa e le gore bone ba tswelela ba sena law enforcement officers gore ba ba thuse.

E nngwe ke yone ya gore, kana go na le kgwetlho ya gore Receiver ke ntse ke supa gore a re o na le matlo a a tshwereng a re a ka tswa a rekilwe ka ntata ya bogodu le melato e mengwe.
So, jaanong ba re, fela jaaka ba supa gore ntlo e re a e belaela gore e ka tswa e bonwe ka bogodu kana e le gore le lekgotla gongwe le santse le rile, namang le e tshegeditse, mathata a matona e nna gore, ba gongwe e neng e le tenants, kana bahirisi moo ba felela ba siya jaanong ba sa batle gore ba amane le matlo a mohuta oo.

Jaanong go bo go raya gore go tsala dikgwetlho tsa gore fa e le matlo e a ntseng jalo go felela go nna le gore matlo ao a felela a sena batho.
Fa a sena batho ga re go diragala jang; Receiver should hire security se kate matlo ao.

Ke dingwe tsa dikgwetlho tse ba nang le tsone, e re fa o tlisa budget fa Honourable Mmusi, e nne nngwe ya dilo tse o di etseng tlhoko thata.

Matlo a e leng gore ga a fela mme gongwe motho o ne a aga ka bribe, e bo jaanong go felela e le gore gongwe he or she is reported, lekgotla le lone le felela le re nnyaa, namang le tshegeditse dithoto tseo, matlo a go nna jalo a nna prone to vandalism.
Kana vandalism go raya gore e kgotlela bosupi.

Kwa ntle ga go kgotlela bosupi a diga value ya property eo.

Jaanong the Receiver o tshwanetse gore a nne a dira mo gotweng ke regular inspections go bona gore a mme property e it does not dissipate in value.
Jaanong mme gone mo it exposes officers tse tsa Office ya ga the Receiver mo e leng gore ba ka nna ba felela ba na le mathata a a tlhatlaganeng.

Jaanong Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke re a re emeng ka dinao kwa Office yone e ya ga the Receiver re e nonotshe, re bone gore re ka e thusa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.
Se sengwe ke gore maabane ke ne ke bua ka gore kana Puso e na le an obligation under Constitution le international instruments gore batho le fa ba ka bo ba ne ba belaelwa, ditshwanelo tsa bone di tshwanetse gore di sale di ntse di le teng.

E le gore the sequencing ya teng ke yone e e leng gore e a belaesega mme e bile ga e jese diwelang.
Go tla jang gore e bo e le gore go iwa court go ise go bonwe bosupi jo bo lebanyeng?

As I say, this is not to contradict or to the negate my earlier point ya gore tota mme kana the purpose ya molao o o tshwanang le Proceeds and Instruments of Crime ke gone go leka go kgoreletsa during the process yone ya commission of crime kana acquisition ya dithoto tse e leng gore ga di a bonwa ka fa molaong.
Le gore tse di setseng di bonwe e le proceeds of especially serious crime di ka gapiwa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.
Honourable Mmusi, I also have a suggestion ya gore when you forfeit some of the assets to the state, especially tse e leng gore tsone they did not initially belong to the state, ke gore tse e leng gore e ne e se gore ke tsa ga Goromente, tse di sa amaneng le corruption, gongwe motho a ne a rekisa drugs e bo e le gore o nna le property and then the state e bo e forfeit properties tsone tseo, leka gore madi a teng fela jaaka mapodise ba dirisa madi a traffic fines gore ba leke gore ba lwantshe borukutlhi, ba reke dikoloi le dithoto tse dingwe tse di ka ba kgontshang tiro, Office ya the Receiver le yone gongwe o e simolole ka a percentage ya gore ba itsholetse mo makalaneng a mangwe a lone lekgotla le fa ba tlhaelang teng ka madi one a a e leng gore are assets forfeited to the state.
Gore fa e le gore dithoto tse di a tsewa di tseelwa dirukutlhi di bo di felela di rekisiwa go bo go bonwa madi, madi a teng mangwe a one a dirisiwe mo lekgotleng lone le la the Receiver go leka go ba nonotsha gore ba nne le staff se e leng gore they are trained valuers, who can execute court orders and gongwe se ka kgona to enhance security sa bone fa ba ntse ba inspect dithoto tse di mo custody ya suspects.
Fa ke buile jalo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ga go lebege ke na le makgwere a a kalokalo mo molaong o. Ke dumela gore let us try and deprive criminals of benefits and rewards tse ba di bonyeng mo borukutlhing.

A re lekeng gore re khutshwafatse kana re interfere le gore dirukutlhi ba felele ba bone property ka tsela e e seng yone.

Dilo tse di bo di nkgoromeletsa kwa go reng mme kana jaanong go setse go duelwa le ka ditsela tse di farologanyeng e bile gongwe go duelwa Goromente.

Mo go rayang gore go na le gore mo teng ga tlhwatlhwa e e leng gore e a bo e lefiwa mo go wena o le modirisi, a consumer, go na le levies that are levied gone foo.

O bo o fitlhela e le gore ke chain fela ya dilo tse e leng gore gongwe ga di dirwe ka fa thulaganyong e e siameng.

Jaanong ke re melawana e e re thusa gore re tlhotlhomise dilo tse ka kakaretso gore re tle re bone gore a madi a a neng a tshwanetse a ka bo a phuthiwa ao a tsena sentle ka kwano.
Kana golo mo go ka raya gore fa o bona motho gongwe a sa lefe tlhwatlhwa e re e solofetseng, go ka tswa e le borukutlhi jo bo diragalang ka kwa thoko jo e leng gore kgabagare bo a go babalela wena o le consumer, o le lefatshe, madi a bo a sa tsene sentle mo sepatšheng sa lefatshe, ditlhabololo di bo di sa kgone go goroga.

Jaanong ke sone se ke reng sengwe le sengwe se e leng gore se a bo se dirwa e le a regulated product, re tshwanetse ra netefatsa gore a tlhwatlhwa e e beilweng, Goromente o kgona gore a e collect ka tsela e e ntseng jang.

Ke e tshwantsha gape le fa batho ba sa duele lekgetho.

Golo mo ke gone mo go dutlisiang gore lefatshe le se ka la ya le gone.

Ba ba ba thusang gore ba tseye madi a go sa bonale, ke proceeds tse re ka di supang gore ke tsa crime ka gore sengwe ga se dirwe.

Sengwe seo ke eng?

Ke go duela lekgetho le le tshwanetseng gore le duelwe mo lefatsheng.

Go raya gore le a bo le sa duelwe ka tsela e e ntseng jalo.
Jaanong dilo tse di tshwanetse gore di tsamaelane, di gokagane gore re bone gore a tota lekgetho le duelwa sentle, are we declaring sengwe le sengwe se se tshwanetseng to be declared mo lefatsheng la rona.

Golo moo go botlhokwa ka gore jaanong o tlaa dira le batho, e bo e le gore wa re nnyaa, nna ke tlaa tla ke a rwele ka dikgwatlha, re tlaa tla re a kgaogana re le ka koo.

Mo go 34 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

Ke itumelela kgang e e reng ‘not only customs officers.’ Jaanong o tsenya le revenue officers, ke gore mongwe le mongwe yo o tsayang madi, a bo a kgona gore le ene o ka investigate ka gore mo gongwe go na le selo sa gotwe nnyaa kana eo mandate ke ya bo semangmang ke ya bo semangmang.

Go ba fetisa moo ke gone jaaka e le gore go na le porosity ya tse e leng gore di ka bo di rulaganyetsa kana di thusa lefatshe in terms of funds and proceeds.

So we need to plug that gap.

Ke yone e e leng gore ke itumelela gore revenue officers tsotlhe fela a di kgone gore di kwa di tlhotlhomise, e se ka ya re sengwe le sengwe, bogolo jang jaaka re lebile melolwane ya rona, e bo gotwe re lebeletse customs officer fela.
Mo go rayang gore fa customs officer a santse a ka bo a tshwere ke sengwe, mongwe o ka feta, a bo a ya go feta kwa go immigration officer or any other revenue collector in that space.

A bo a kgona go tšhwebela ka gore ga se ka fa ene a neetsweng tiro ka teng.

Go botlhokwa bagaetsho ka gore go le gantsi fela fa e le gore tlhotlhomiso e santse e tsene, mongwe o ka kgona gore a nne fa a bo a kgona go botsolotswa, a bo a kgona gore a re bolelele sentle gore se se tlhokwang se fa kae.

Ke bua jaana ka gore o tlaa bona mo gongwe in no time go runtse fela e bo e le gore motho ke yo o na le se le se mme a sa kgone to account gore tota a re o se tsaya fa kae.
Dilo tse ke tse e leng gore ba bangwe a ke di party, society a ke eng jaaka re ntse re bolela mo Bills tse di neng di fetsa tse, ba ka tsena ka batho ba go nna jaana, ba mo neela dithoto tse tse e leng gore ba ya go di tsaya kana ba tsaya proceeds tsa teng ka kwa morago.

Dilo tse di bo di tla di tswelela di ntse di dira tse di maswe tse di tshwanang le bo terrorism le tse dingwe gape tse e leng gore di ka menola lefatshe, tsa tlisa instability mo lefatsheng.
So dilo tse fa e le gore re na le pelaelo nngwe, fa go santse go tlhotlhomisiwa, go tshwanelwa ke gone gore go emise dilo tse gore go tle go bonwe gore o account jang for dilo tseo, whether you are an institution or you are an individual jaaka go e tle go buiwe gotwe a natural listed person.

Go botlhokwa rra jaaka bangwe bakaulengwe ba setse ba buile gore thuto e tshwanetse go tsena mo bathong ba rona.

So re tshwanetse gore re thuse batho.


Kwa melolwaneng kwa, tsotlhe tse di tlhokafalang tsa detection, di nne teng, batho ba rutuntshiwe.

Le dintša fa e le gore di tshwanetse gore di nne teng, a di nne teng mo molelwaneng mongwe le mongwe.

O bo o fitlhela e le gore go na le batho ba ka nna babedi ba ba sa neelwang dithata dipe tsa go detect sepe.
Dilo tse di tshwanang le bo ditagi le madi a e leng gore a batla go ntshiwa ka tsela e e ntseng jalo, a bo a tswa ka yone melolwane e e ntseng jalo.

Jaanong ke re there is a need gore tota this human capital development e nne teng, mme le bone batho fela ka kakaretso, ba rutwe kwa Dikgotleng tsa rona le kae kwa e leng gore re ka nna teng gore re kgone go hema dikgang tse di ntseng jaana.

Le yone cash jaaka bakaulengwe ba setse ba buile, tota a re lebeng golo fa.

Dilo tse ke tsone tse e leng gore tota fela ka bokhutshwane jo bo kalo, ke a di itumelela mo Molao-kakanyetsong o, mme e bile ke dumela ke re di tlaa thusa gape ka gore there is what is called a civil penalty order e e leng gore Goromente jaaka mo gongwe a kolotwa ke rona re le batho, dikompone 35 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke ema fa ke ema molao o nokeng.

Tota e bile ga go na puo e ntsi, ke go o ema nokeng fela, mme ke re a re dumalaneng gore fa re le bontlha bongwe jwa lebopo, re le Botswana, re tshwanetse gore re tsamaisane le mafatshe a mangwe ka go dira dilo ka fa di tlaa re siamelang rotlhe ka teng.
E tle e re fa e le gore go na le sengwe se o ka reng e re ntswa re le bontlha bongwe jwa lebopo, mafatshefatshe, e re e kare se tlaa re kgoreletsa ka tsamaiso le ngwao ya rona, re lebe gore a re fetola tsamaiso gore se re siamele.

Kana fa e se go fetola tsamaiso, re bona gore tsamaiso ya rona e siame, re tshwanetse ra dira mo go tweng reservation fa re dumalana ka dilo tse.

Mo ditsamaisong tse dingwe, o fitlhela e le gore reservation ga se selo se e leng gore ke bontlha bongwe jwa ditumelano.
O fitlhela e le gore bontsi jwa nako re a patelesega gore re dire jalo.

Melao e ke mengwe ya yone eo, fa re patelesegang teng, mo o fitlhelang e le gore we are between a rock and a hard place go leka to balance dilo tse.

E bile gape ke dumalana gore e re ntswa re patelesega and compelled to be part of that process, there must be checks and balances.

Ga go na fa go ka itaolelwang fela, selo seo re tshwanetse ra se dumalana.
Selo sa bobedi, a re dumelaneng gore go nna bontlha bongwe jwa tsamaiso e ya mafatshefatshe go re thusitse gore re lebe molao mengwe e e ntseng e le teng gore e baakanngwe, re bo re tle ka e mesha e e leng gore e tlaa thusa gore re nne an up-to-date and abreast country in the community of nations gore re kgone go dira dilo tse di tlaa tokafatsang matshelo a rona le tse di tlaa re sireletsang.

Selo se re tshwanetse ra se lemoga gore maikaelelo a melao e ke eng.
Selo sa boraro se re tshwanetseng go se amogela ke gore, a re dumalaneng gore melao e re e buang gompieno e, maikaelelo ke go lwantsha mmaba yo re sa mmoneng le ka matlho.

A re itse gore mmaba o is very smart, swift and very ruthless.

Fa a ka fitlhela melao ya rona e reketla a ikepela gone foo, e tlaa re fa re ya go mo lemoga, a bo a setse a tsamaya kgakala tshenyo ya gagwe e le ntsi e bile a re diretse mathata a go tlaa tsayang lebaka gore re baakanye se a se dirileng.
Ke sone se ke itumelelang Honourable Keorapetse when he acknowledges that melao e e a bereka ka gore what he has just acknowledge ke gore in less than four years, 2018 up to now, the receiver who is a product of these laws has worked so hard e bile o dirile tiro e a dumalanang gore o tshwanetse go thusiwa.
Ke sone se ke reng go a tlama e bile go a tshwanela gore melao e re e dumalane mme re ntse re tla re leba dingwe tse re ka di buisanyang le ba bangwe ba mafatshefatshe gore fa o kareng checks and balances ga di yo sentle, re dumalane gore di nne teng ka gore e re ntswa re lwantsha mmaba, ga re a tshwanela gore re nne le kgang ya gore the governance processes di tsewe lolea e nne e kete di a latlhalelwa fela ka gore mmaba ke yole o fale.
Gone ka boammaaruri fa re le mo ntweng e e masisi e e tseneletseng jaaka e, go na le dilo dingwe tse di tleng di ame tsamaiso ya puso ya batho ka batho le ka fa re dirang dilo ka teng on day to day basis.

Jaanong molao o re o itebagantseng o, Proceeds and Instruments of Crime o tlhamaletse.

Mo gae mo ke ne ke eletsa gore e re fa re o pasa jaana, re bo re lebile dilo dingwe tse di re tshwenyang.
Some years back re le bontlha bongwe jwa the global community, re ne ra tewa gatwe to facilitate global trading and global flow of goods and services and what have you.

Re tshwanetse ra nna le free exchange rates, free repatriation of profit and there must be limitations on the thresholds that can be expatriated go ya kwa ntle ga lefatshe.

These things di boile jaanong di a re loma ka gore fa re dira jalo fa go simolola FATF bo ESAAMLG, go bo gotwe we are havens of tax evasion and the like.
Jaanong re tshwanetse ra boa ra ipaakanya ra baakanya golo foo, ra bo ra leba le dilo dingwe.

Even our own internal trade ra e baakanya gore batho ba se ka ba tsamaya ba rwele matshebetshebe a madi go sa itsewe kwa ba a tsayang teng jaaka Honourable Moagi le Honourable Keorapetse ba ne ba bua.

Go na le dishopo tse dingwe mo mafelong a rona a Botswana, mo e leng gore fa o tla ka karata o re o a swipe, ba go raya ba re they do only accept cash.
The question is why have we allowed them for so long gore 36 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

39 OF 2021) Second Reading ba dire dilo tsa go nna jalo ka gore that is the beginning of the root cause ya problem ya money laundering?

Fa e le gore ra re ba ntshe madi a bone a e leng profit ba a ise kwa magabone, ba a ntshang jang e le hard cash?
Kana they have to wire these monies through the international transactions system e e leng gore e teng.

Jaanong these are the things tse ke reng melao e e re thusa gore re lebe dilo tse, re bo re kgone to enforce them ka tsela e e leng gore ga re na go tloga re bidiwa the tax havens.

Mapolotiki ga re na go tloga re bidiwa magodu.


Ke lapisitswe ke go bidiwa legodu ke sa utswela ope sepe ka ntata ya gore dilo tse fa di diragala, people may come up with perceptions tsa gore Government facilitates, o a letla gore dilo tse di nne.

So melao e Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, re tshwanetse go gagamatsa ka gore ba ba dirang jalo re tlaa ba kapa.
Bontsi jwa Batswana tota ga ba tlhaloganye gore gatwe melao e e dira eng, re tshwanetse re ba tlhalosetse gore re na le disinyi mo gareng ga rona ba ba re utswelang meamuso le ditsompelo, re batla go ba gagamatsa diphogwana gore ba se ka ba dira jalo.

Melao e mme e tshwanetse gore e bo e le bogale, motho a itse gore fa re ka mo kapa o tlaa di gama a sa di tlhapela.
Jaanong Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ka bokhutshwane jo bo kalo ke ne ke re ke itumetse thata go utlwa Honourable Keorapetse acknowledging gore these laws are effective.

So ke rapela gore le e e tlang melao re se ka ra tsaya lebaka mo go yone ka gore there is proof and acknowledgement.

Ke a leboga Motsamaiasa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, I move accordingly.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Morolong.

Honourable Ambassador Kapinga.

MR KAPINGA (OKAVANGO): Thank you very much Mr Speaker.
Le nna gongwe ke sale morago fa Honourable Molale a fetileng teng, ke dumedise ba kwa Chukumuchu, Beetsha le Gudigwa.

Ke ne ke re ke latlhele ka bokhutshwanyane fela Mr Speaker, mo Molao-kakanyetsong o ke re kana maikaelelo a matona a molao o wa Proceeds and Instruments of Crime, ke go tlhomamisa gore borukutlhi ga bo busetse, mo ka Sekgoa gotweng crime should not pay.

Ka jalo ga gona ka fa ke ka tlhokang go ema nokeng molao o o ntseng jaana.
Re tshwanetse go lemoga dingwe fa re ntse re dirisa molao o Mr Speaker.

In the past re ne re gatelela thata mo borukutlhing jwa bo go rekisa metokwane jaana, jwa robbery le borukutlhi jo bongwe jo bo bonwang ke mang le mang ka matlho.

Re bo re sa tsenye leitlho le le tseneletseng mo go se se bidiwang gotwe white collar and organised crime.
Jaanong ke bo ke gakolole Minister gore a lemoge e bile a nne a ntse a lemoga selo se gore borukutlhi jo bo tsileng go dira lefatshe le, ka fa tebong ya me ke white collar crime, e e leng gore ga e dirwe ke mongwe le mongwe mo seterateng, go na le beng ba yone ba e ba busetsang.

Gompieno ba agile matlo a a seng kana ka sepe, ba na le dipolase, le kwa dipolaseng tota go na le double storey tsa matlo.
Ke gone kwa go tshwanetseng gore o lebelele teng Honourable Minister, ke bone ba ba digang itsholelo ya lefatshe le, re bo re sokola jaaka re sokola jaana.

Sa bobedi se ke neng ke batla go se go gakolola Minister ke gore go dira molao fela ka bogone is not enough.

Go botlhokwa gore o le Tona jaana o bo o tlhomamisa gore the organisational infrastructure e e yang go dirisiwa go tlhomamisa gore molao o o a dirisiwa e teng.
Mo mafatsheng a mangwe fa o ntse o lebeletse o utlwa go buiwa ka bo asset forfeiture units.

Gongwe dikgang tsa teng di a ntlola Honourable Minister ga di goroge kwa go nna mme ga ke ise ke utlwe gore mo sepodiseng sa Botswana kgotsa mo lefatsheng la Botswana, go tlhamilwe a unit that specialises in asset investigation and forfeiture.
Lekalana le le itebagantseng le go tlhotlhomisa, go batlisisa, go sala morago, go epolola fa go fitlhilweng teng dithoto tse di bonweng ka borukutlhi, le bo le diragatsa molao gore dithoto tseo di gapiwe.

Fa re ka dira ka molao o fela go bo go sa diriwe lone lekalana leo, go tsentswe batho mo teng ba ba rutetsweng tiro eo, ba ba nang le dithutego tse di lekaneng go ka tsamaisa boikarabelo jo bo ntseng jalo, ga gona gope fa re tlaa yang teng Mr Speaker.
Re tlaa bona banna ba ntse ba huma ka ditsela kgotsa le ka methale e re sa e tlhaloganyeng gore naare khumo e e kanakana, motho yo o e tsaya kae.

Re sa kgone go ba tseela dikgato tse di tshwanetseng ka gore ga re kgone go epolola dilo tse di tshwanetseng gore di epololwe, ga re na bone batho bao ba re ba rutileng mo go tseneletseng gore ba tlhotlhomise dilo tsa go nna jaana, ba bo ba ya go di bona, ba bo ba di gapa ka tsamaiso ya molao.
Sa boraro Mr Speaker, ke ne ke re kana molao o fa ke o badile sentle fa ke santse ke o gakologelwa sentle, even international conventions di rotloetsa selo se gotweng civil forfeiture.

Civil forfeiture e raya gore you do not have to subject a person.

Ke gore ga o a tshwanela gore o emele pele gore a sekele molato wa borukutlhi, a bo a bonwa molato pele, ke gone o bo o ka mo gapela dilo tseo.

37 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.
39 OF 2021) Second Reading Civil forfeiture e go letlelela jalo gore o supe dilwana tse motho a nang le tsone, di belaesega a di bone ka mokgwa o e seng one.

Gape go belaelwa e le proceeds of crime.

Ga go tlhokafale gore go nne le a criminal conviction gore motho a bo a gapelwa jalo.

Ke dumela gore fa go le thata gore re sekise batho ba re itseng gore ba gopela itsholelo ya lefatshe la Botswana kwa Dikgotleng in a criminal trial, let us resort more and more to civil forfeiture.
Ke dumela gore ga e thata, e bile ga e bokete jaaka go mo sekisetsa molato wa borukutlhi.

Ke dumela gore go motlhofo go supa gore motho ke yo o kgobokantse dithoto ka tsela e e gakgamatsang mo sebakeng se se khutshwane.

A sa kgone go supa gore dithoto tse madi a a neng a di di bona ka one, o ne a tsaya kae.

It is very easy to prove… HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification.

MR KAPINGA: …ke rotloetse Tona gore let us focus more on this approach.
ASSISTANT MINISTER OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD SECURITY (MR MOLEBATSI): Thank you Mr Speaker.

O ne o bua ka civil forfeiture review; a o raya gore mo Botswana ga e diriwe fa o dira living beyond your means?

Go na le batho ba ba e tleng ba tlhotlhomisiwe go bonwa fela a rwele dilo di le dintsi.

A bo a tlhotlhomisiwa dilo tse di bo di tsewa gotwe living beyond their means fa e le gore ga ba tlhalose gore di tswa kae.

Ga se yone eo?

MR KAPINGA: Ee rra.

Ke yone eo.


Se ke se buang ke gore, ga ke kgotsofalele bokete jo re e dirisang ka teng.

Ka observation ya me, ga re e dirise ka bokete jo re neng re ka e dirisa ka teng.

Re gapa dilo tse e leng gore ga di a bonwa ka fa mokgweng, di bonwe ka maduo a borukutlhi.

Sa bofelo se ke batlang go bua ka sone ke gore, fa re bua ka asset forfeiture and confiscation, e bile Honourable Keorapetse o fetile ka yone, it is just a matter of underscoring it.

Ke itumetse, ke a go dumedisa rra.


Kgang e e buaiwang rra e siame, ke dumalana le paakanyo ya molao o. Mr Speaker, ke dumalane le gore molao wa Proceeds and Instrument of Crime re o baakanye, gore o tle o kgone go re thusa go laola tshenyetso-setšhaba.

Bakaulengwe ba setse ba buile gore re a itse gore go na le dikompone tsa merafe e e farologaneng, tse e seng tsa Batswana, tse di falotsang madi.
Re a itse gore go na le merafe mengwe ba e leng gore ga ba beye madi kwa dibankeng, jaanong ke dilo tse di re tsentseng ngwene Mr Speaker.

Re tshwanelwa ke go ema ka dinao, re ipotse le rona gore naare batho fa ba sa beye madi kwa bankeng, gatwe madi a ba a baya kwa kae, mme gape re tsweletse ka go bona batho ba ba dirang dikgwejwana, ga se dikgwebo tse di kalokalo.
Motho yo a dira madi a a seng kana ka sepe, o ipotsa gore a mme o dira madi ka yone kgwebo e, kana kgewebo e ke mo go re bayang bobi matlhong fela, go na le tsela e a dirang madi ka yone.

Mo re felelang re belaela gore dikgwebo tse dingwe tota, di a bo di beetswe foo fela gore nnyaa, Batswana ba tseye gore ke kgwebo ya go rekisa diaparonyana, le eng le leng, tota motho gongwe a dira madi ka ditagi, a dira madi ka tse dingwe tse di sa letlelesegeng mo lefatsheng la Botswana.
Ke dilo tse re tshwanelwang ke go di emela ka dinao, re di tlhotlhomise re bone gore naare gatwe golo fa lefatshe la Botswana, seemo se sa borukuthi re ka se lwantsha ka tsela e e e ntseng jang.
Dilo tse Mr Speaker, re ka di kgona fa e le gore re ka tswelela ka gore fa re baakanya melao e, re ka bo re ntse re lebelela melao e Ke na le ngongorego, ngongorego ya me ke gore fa re bua ka madi a a dirwang mo Botswana, melao e e sala madi morago a a iswang kwa bankeng, a re yang go reka dilwana ka one fela jalojalo.

Kgang ya me ke gore, ga gona fa go buiwang ka drugs fa.

Se se ntshwenyang ke gore batho bontsi fa batla ka drugs, ba di rekisetsa bana ba rona gongwe le gongwe fa ba tsamayang teng.
Rona re le Batswana, ga re kgalemele ditshenyego tse di tshwanang le tse.

Melao e ga e bue sepe ka dilo tseo.

Batho ba ba itseng ka drugs, o tlaa bona gore ke bone ba ba tlwaetseng go tshwara magodu kana batho ba ba rekisang.

Ke batla go itse Mr Speaker fa re lebile, that time for example fa go ntse go tsomiwa kana go utswa dinaka tsa ditshukudu, kwa black market ya kwa Asia lenaka le lengwefela la tshukudu le rekisiwa ka US$65,000.00 per Kilogram (kg).
Dinaka tse di neng di tswa mo Botswana, re tswa go bona gore ba di tshwere kwa mafatsheng.

Jaanong melao e ga e bue sepe ka tse, le rona ga re kgalemele gore batho ba se ka ba tsoma diphologolo tse kana ba di utswa, re ba tlogetse.

Fa e le gore re batla go baakanya ka re itse batho ba ba tsileng go tsenya madi mo account tsa bone, mme ba bangwe re ba tlogela, ra reng ka melao e. Melao e is not holistic, e na le grey areas tse dintsi thata mo go yone.
Tona wa Mapodise le Masole a iteke, ba ye go tswala, ba kganele batho bao gore ba se ka ba tswa ka dilwana tse, ka gore ke madi a mantsi fa o akanya US$65,000.00 per kg.

Jaanong re ntse re bua ka batho ba ba tswang 51 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022PROCEEDS AND INSTRUMENTS OF CRIME (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

Ga se gore re ba tlogele, nnyaa ke rialo, mme go na le ba bangwe ba ba re palelang mme re a ba tlogela.

Jaanong melao e rra, ka fa ke e bonang ka teng it is very deficient.

It has got a lot of grey areas mo go yone.

The simplest thing ke gore re ye go bona gore jaanong semangmang o tsentse bokae mo account ya gagwe, re bo re boa gape re re re batla go mo tlhasela.

A re yeng go botsa gore madi a tswa kae, a supe gore o tswa go a tsaya kae.
Ba bangwe ba tsena fela mo dikoleng ba rekisetsa bana ba rona drugs, mme re a ba tlogela kana re ba tlogetse.

Mr Speaker, this law is very deficient and inefficient ka boyone in what it is attempting to do it is only scratching the surface.

Ga se gore e tsenetse kwa teng tota.

Ke na le matshwenyego ka melao e ka gore gape ga e bue sepe gore re ya go kopa Mapodise, Masole kana maDIS gore ba dire tiro ya bone, gore ditshenyegelo tse di emisiwe.
Nnyaa, re bua fela gore re ya go bona gore madi a a tsenyeng mo account ya ga mang.

Yo mongwe a bo a re motho yo wa gago ke dipula fela ga a tseye ...(Inaudible)… no, that is nothing, ka gore madi a t-shirts le dilo tse di tshwanang jaaka stock sweets ga se madi a sepe.

Fa e le gore re batla gore melao e e re berekele, a re lebe dilo tsotlhe e seng tse dingwe tse e leng gore ra re tse re ka di kgona, mme tse dingwe ga re di kgone, so re ya go di tlogela gone foo.

Jaanong ka fa go ntse jaana, re tsile go le tseela se, re tsile go le tlhasela ka go le tseela dilwana tsa lona kana go tsaya dikoloi tsa lona kana go tsaya madi a lona fela jalo.

Ba romilwe, otherwise ga ba utlwane le batho ba bangwe.
So melao e e tshwanetse go lebaganngwa le batho ba e leng gore fa ba ka dira jalo, ba ya go seka jang.

Fa motho a senyetsa motho botshelo ka dikgang tse di lebaganeng le dipolotiki le dikgang tse dingwe fela, re ba sekisa jang batho ba.

Melao e e didimetse mo kgannyeng e, it is just very very shallow.

Mr Speaker, fa e le gore re ya go tswelela ka melao e ga re ka ke ra re ka fa re a baakanya, mme ka fa ga re baakanye re a tlogela.
That is going to create a grey area, batho ba tlile go feta fela gone foo.

Jaaka re ntse re bua ka drugs, ba simolotse, rotlhe re a itse, mme ga o ise o utlwe Tona wa Mapodise, Masole le maDIS o mo utlwa a bua sepe mo Palamenteng e, le fa e le 11th Parliament, 12th Parliament a bua a re ba ya go lwantsha kgang e jang.

Se sengwe gape ke a gakgamala, fa re re re thiba fa, Tona wa Mapodise o batla go tla ka melao e mengwe e e reng go ka dirwang passports tse e seng tsone kana Identification (ID).

Re a reng jaanong, ka fa re leka go thiba mme ka fa re bulela mathata a mangwe.

So that ka ga fiwa motho legally incorrect travel or logistical documents.

So, what are we saying?

Tota Palamente e e ya reng jaanong.


Re batla go thiba ka fa, mme ka fa re bulela bogodu jo bongwe gape gore motho a kgone go ya mafatsheng a tshotse passport kana ID e e seng ya gagwe, mme re batla go lwantsha dikgang tse.

Nnyaa Speaker, ke a go kopa tsweetswee!

Dilo tse ga di a wela sentle, ka fa re a baakanya, ka fa re baakanya go senya.

Nnyaa Mr Speaker, a re boeleng kwa morago re akanye gore tota re dira eng ka dikgang tse.
Ga re ka ke ra tla fa ra re re ya go dira jaana le jaana.

Nnyaa, go na le kwa re senyang teng.

Melao e re e lebaganye le e mengwe, ga re ka ke ra re re ya go senya kafa, re baakanya kafa.

It is hypocrisy of the highest note.


Fa e le gore Tona o dumalana le melao e, ka gore di tla ka motho a le mongwefela Rre Mmusi, nnyaa fa a sale a ikakanya sentle gore tota o dira eng, ka gore mafatshe a mangwe ba tlaa re lona ba le tswang ka passports tsa Botswana, ga re itse gore a ke wena tota, a o motho yo passport e reng ke wena… HONOURABLE MEMBER: …(Murmurs)… MR SPEAKER: May we have order please.

COUNTER TERRORISM (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

40 OF 2021) Second Reading MR SPEAKER: Thank you very much.

Order!

Order!

Honourable Minister for Presidential Affairs, Governance and Public Administration, please present your Bill.

responsible FOR PRESIDENTIAL MINISTER AFFAIRS, GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MR MORWAENG): Thank you very much Mr Speaker.

Ke a dumedisa e bile ke a ikokobetsa mongwame.


Ke dumedise batlotlegi botlhe ba ba mo Ntlong e. I have the honour to present before this Honourable House, for second reading, Counter Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, 2021 (No.

40 of 2021).

The Counter Terrorism Act (Cap.

08:08) was promulgated in 2013 to provide for measures to prevent and combat acts of terrorism, including financing of terrorism and to establish the Counter-Terrorism Analysis and Fusion Agency.
Mr Speaker, as you are aware, this Bill is amongst others identified to close some of the gaps identified in the mutual evaluation report which recommend for better national cooperation and coordination.

In addition, as a result of the proposed enactment of the Financial Intelligence Act, consequential amendments are necessary to align certain provisions of the Financial Intelligence Bill.
Therefore, the object of the Bill is to augment the Counter Terrorism Act as follows: first Mr Speaker, by amending the definition of “investigating officer” so that only officers of the Botswana Police Service will be mandated to investigate crimes in accordance with the Police Act while the officers of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security and the Botswana Defence Force will gather intelligence.
Secondly, by amending the definition of the words “act of terrorism” so that the wording is the same as that of the Financial Intelligence Bill of 2021 and the Nuclear Weapons (Prohibition) Act of 2018.

Thirdly, by inserting the definition of the word “proliferation” to expand financing of terrorism offences to include the offence of financing a proliferation and biological and chemical weapons.
Fourthly, by providing for a new definition for the word “committee” to align it with new committee and now be constructed under Clause 8 of the Financial Intelligence Bill of 2021 and fifthly to replace the definitions of the words “funds” and “property” so that they have the same meaning as in the Proceeds and Instruments of Crime Act.

Lastly but not least, the Bill also introduces provisions for penalty of offence so that there are appropriate penalties for offenders.
Mr Speaker, Clause 16 amendments Part VII of the Bill in order to bring consistency in alignment to the mandate of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security and the National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence established under the Financial Intelligence Act.
This has been done by replacing Part VII of the Act which established the Counter Terrorism Analysis and Fusion Agency so that if continues its mandate as the Counter Terrorism and Fusion Division under Directorate of Intelligence and Security.

Mr Speaker, it is worth noting that the mandate of the Directorate 54 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022COUNTER TERRORISM (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.
40 OF 2021) Second Reading of Intelligence and Security is national security and national security has been defined to include terrorism.

The Counter Terrorism Act and the Intelligence and Security Service Act mandate a …(Inaudible)… of entities with investigating the financing of terrorism.

In addition, both entities report to his Excellency the President on the same matters of terrorism.

Therefore, the amendment seeks to rectify this complicity of mandates.
Clause 17 of the Bill also makes provision for the repeal of the National Counter Terrorism Committee (NCTC) which will be reconstituted as the National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence (NCCFI) under the Financial Intelligence Act and further saving the decisions of the NCTC to be deemed to be decisions of the NCCFI.

Mr Speaker, this concludes my presentation.

I now move that the Counter Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, 2021 (No.

40 of 2021) be read a second time.

I thank you Mr Speaker.


MR SPEAKER: Thank you very much Honourable Minister.

Order!

Order!

The matter is open for debate.

Honourable Assistant Minister responsible for Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development, Member for Francistown East, Honourable Billy.

OF MINISTER ASSISTANT YOUTH EMPOWERMENT, SPORT AND CULTURE DEVELOPMENT (MR BILLY): Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Mma ke tseye sebaka se ke akgele mo Molao-kakanyetsong o o beilweng pele mo ...(Inaudible)… rraetsho wa... MR SPEAKER: Honourable Minister, your voice is not coming.

MR BILLY: Oh!

Okay, I did not notice.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, mma ke lebogele gore o bo o mphile sebaka se go bua le Batswana le bakaulengwe Mo molao-kakanyetsong o o botlhokwatlhokwa thata.
Maikaelelo a paakanyo ya Molao-kakanyetso o ke gore re tswale diphatlha tse di leng teng mo molaong o. Diphatlha tse di leng teng tse di dira gore tse re neng re batla go di dira fa go dirwa molao o di se ka tsa diragala kana tsa kgonagala ka fa re neng re eleditse ka teng.

Manokonoko a diphatlha tse di leng teng tse a ka ama batho ba dikgaolo tsa rona.

Kgaolo e ya Francistown e ka amega fela thata ya Francistown East.
Kgaolo e e akaretsa Selepa, Donga, Satellite South, Satellite North, Central, Area S le Pelotelele.

Jaanong se ke tshwanetseng gore ke se dire ke gore gongwe ke lebelele gore definition ya terrorism kana botsoulodi ke eng.

Botsoulodi kana bo ka dirwa ka maikaelelo a mefuta e e farologaneng.

Go ka nna le botsoulodi jo bo dirwang ke mapolotiki, religion le ideology ya gore wena o dumela mo eng.
…Silence… MR BILLY: Gantsi ditumelo tse le sone sepolotiki se, go dirwa ka go tshosetsa batho le go tshosetsa Puso e e leng gore e tlaabo e le mo setilong ka nako yone eo.

Jaanong ke selo se se ka amang botshelo jwa batho thata segolo jang ke lebeletse kgaolo e ke leng mo go yone.

Botsuolodi bo ka dirwa ka tsela e e ntseng jalo?

Mo botsuoloding ga go na mo gotweng ke protests.


Kana mo pusong ya batho ka batho ya democracy, protests, advocacy, go emisa go ya go bereka mme go dirwa ka mokgwa o e leng gore o tlotlegile, e bile o sireletsegile.

Le gone go dirisiwa dikgoka le gone go tshosediwa ga batho.

Tsotlhe tse ke dikgang di gogomosang maikutlo.

Jaanong ke dumela gore ga go na ope yo o ka reng o eletsa gore re tsene mo diemong tse re lebeletse mafatshe a e leng gore a babaletswe ke dikgang tsone tse a a nang le terrorists.
Terrorists ga ba na borders mo gotweng kwa go rona ga ba ka ke ba goroga, ba ka goroga kwa dikgaolong tse di rileng.

Kwa dikgaolong tse di rileng kana kwa mafatsheng a a rileng a e leng gore ba tshwenya thata kwa go one, ba simolotse fela ba tsena ka bongwe ka bongwe go fitlhelela ba tsaya yone taolo ya Puso.
Re a bona kwa Mozambique gore go diragala eng letsatsi le mme kana go babalela le yone itsholelo ka gore go ama lefatshe leo economically go bo go ama the region mme pheletsong go bo go ama lefatshe ka bophara.

Ke sengwe se re tshwanetseng gore fa re filwe nako ya go bua ka dikgang tse di tshwanang le tse, re eme ka dinao fela thata.

The effects tse di tsalwang ke botsolodi ke eng?


Botsuolodi bo ka dira gore batho ba tlhokafale ka dipalo tse di gakgamatsang kana tse di kwa godimo; mo gotweng ke mass killings.

Di ka dira gore kidnappings le tsone e nne tsa dipalo tse di kwa godimo thata.

Gape di ka dira gore go nne le damage of properties, mme properties ke bua ka infrastructures.

Mafatshe a a amiwang ke botsuolodi a a senyega; fa e le gore development level ya bone e ne e le kwa godimo, ba boela kwa morago.
Go bo go nna go dirwa budgets go dirwa selo se se kileng sa dirwa gape.

O lebelele one mafatshe ao gore o fitlhela e le gore go tlhabologa ga bone go bonya ka gore property e e neng e le teng e a 55 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022COUNTER TERRORISM (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.

40 OF 2021) Second Reading senngwa ka lebaka lone la gore ditsuolodi di a bo di le gone foo, so go baka a huge harm mo bathong le mo itsholelong.
Ke sengwe se e leng gore re tshwanetse re se ele tlhoko gore botsoolodi bo ka re bakela eng.

Fa re itebaganya le gore molao-kakanyetso o o ne o tlhaela eng, o ne o sa fe dithata, kana ba Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DIS), Botswana Defence Force (BDF) le any other law enforcement agencies.

O bo o fitlhela e le gore ga ba fiwe dithata tse di lekaneng to gather intelligence go diragatsa molao.
Jaanong sone seo se a re thusa gore investigation officer o tlaabo a filwe dithata jaanong tsa go lwantsha ditsuolodi.

Ke yone gap e e neng e setse; go ne go setse fela gore go tlhalosiwe definition ya gore investigation officer tiro ya gagwe ke gore o tshwanetse gore a dire tiro e e ntseng jang.

Ke ema nokeng Molao-kakanyetso o kana paakanyo ya Molao-kakanyetso e ke lebeletse mabaka a a tshwanang le one ao.
Se sengwe Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke gore, ke ema nokeng gore the corporate bodies – kana gompieno molao o o ne o itebagantse le individuals ba e leng gore ba dira botsuolodi mme o sa itebaganya le corporate bodies tse e leng gore those individuals ba ba dirang botsuolodi o fitlhela e le gore are sponsored by corporate bodies mme molao o o ne o itlhokomolositse corporate bodies because corporate bodies are organised, and when they are organised, go raya gore tshenyo ya bone e feta ya motho yo mongwe fela.
Ke dumela gore le bone molao o re o baakanye ba kgone to be punished fela jaaka yo o neng a ikemetse a le nosi.

Se sengwe gape molao o wants to align kana go dira gore bo DIS le FIA di tsamaisane mo go lekeng go diragatsa molao one o wa counterterrorism.

Re dira jalo gore go se ka ga re body e nngwe e gogele kwa e nngwe e gogela kwa mme ba diragatsa selo se le sengwe fela.
Ke dumela gore paakanyo e e tlaa dira gore re kgone go lwantsha terrorism e e tsalwang ke sponsorships tse di dirwang ke those bodies tse ke sa tswang go bua ka tsone.

E tlaa dira gape gore financial intelligence re itepatepanye le yone ya gore batho ba dirisa madi ba a tsaya mo sources tse di ntseng jang.
Ke sengwe se re tshwanetseng gore re itse gore the intention ya paakanyo e ke e e siameng, ke e e nang le keletso e e leng gore e na le keletso e e siameng go baakanya diemo tsa itshireletso tsa setšhaba.

Botsuolodi kana terrorism fa bo sa tlhokomelwe or if it is left unchallenged, e ka dira gore batho ba tshelele mo letshogong.

Go tshelela mo letshogong go babalela motho physically, emotionally le ka fa botsogo jwa gagwe fela bo ntseng ka teng even le investment.
You cannot do investment o tshelela mo o sa itseng gore kamoso o tlaabo o le fa kae, so batho ba tlaabo ba tshelela mo letshogong.

Ga go na rule of law fa go nang le botsoolodi; no rule of law.

Bo Goromente are compromised, policies tsa Goromente le tsone ga di diragadiwe ka fa di tshwanetseng go diragadiwa ka teng, pheletsong fela ke gore ga go na Government of the day.

Re tshwanetse re eme ka dinao.


Ba e leng gore already go na le terrorists mo go bone le ba ba senang, e tshwanetse e nne effort ya rona ba rotlhe gore fa re supiwa gore lona lefatshe la Botswana le saletse morago fa, mme ke sone se re tshwanetseng gore re eme ka dinao rotlhe re dire dipaakanyo mo molaong o o ntseng o le teng, o o supafalang gore o na le diphatlha.

Ke dumela gore ka fa re tsamayang ka teng, ke selo se se siameng.
La bofelo kana fa o lebeletse terrorists jaaka ke ne ke bua, ba dira gore mafatshe a ba leng mo go one ao, a ba senyang mo go one, e nne havens for criminals.

Bogodu le jone bo a gola ka gore ga go na rule of law le molao o o tlhamaletseng, mongwe le mongwe o itirela sengwe le sengwe ka fa a eletsang go dira ka teng.
Mokaulengwe, ke go ema nokeng Rraetsho Morwaeng ke go ema nokeng ka gore Tshutiso e ke yone e re e tlhokang so that ope yo o nang le keletso ya go tla mo lefatsheng la rona a dira investments a bo a itse gore go safe.

A bo a itse gore o ka beeletsa dithoto tsa gagwe mme go sena sepe se e leng gore kamoso dithoto tsa gagwe di tlaabo di senyegile kana Goromente a tshwerwe a sa tlhola a kgona go dira sepe go laola bone go itsamaisa bone.

Look at the country like Afghanistan gore go diragala eng today.
Fa terrorists di tsenang teng, ba tsaya Puso, ba tsaya taolo ya Puso mme go felela go sena Puso, go felela e le gore sengwe le sengwe se a itira.

Lefatshe leo economically le ya go amega go bo go raya gore ditsamaiso tsa lone di nna bokoa, batho ba bo ba sa tlhole ba nna le kgatlhego mo go lone.

Molao o ga se o ke ka buang dilo tse di ntsintsi thata.

Ke tsaya gore mabaka a ke setseng ke a buile Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, o a utlwile.

Ke a leboga rraetsho.

MR SPEAKER: The Minister was presenting.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Murmurs)… MR SPEAKER: Let us have order please Honourable Member for Gaborone Central.
Honourable Kapinga is quite correct, I need to explain to him how we operate.

From there parties di tlisa maina a tsone, the ruling BDP e setse e tlisitse maina a mararo mo go yone ntlha e e sa tswang go bewa ke Motlotlegi Rraetsho Tona Morwaeng.

Then obviously UDC has Honourable Kapinga on the chat and Honourable Tshere.

So everything is quite in order Rraagwe Dineo, nothing wrong.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MINISTER OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENT (MR MOLALE): Ke a go leboga Mr Speaker.

Tota fela ke na le dintlha di le pedi fa ke ema molao o nokeng.

Jaanong ka fa a buang ka teng go tlaa baakanngwa gore go se ka ga nna le ketsaetsego fa go lwantshiwa borukutlhi jo bo tseneletseng jo.

E bile mo godimo ga moo mo ntlheng e ya ntlha, ke itumelela gore le tsone dikatlholo bogolo jang fines, di okeditswe ka gore le fa botshelo jwa motho bo sena tlhwatlhwa, batho ba fa ba tlhaselwa ba tsena fa gare ga rona ba a ganyaola.

Borukutlhi bagaetsho bo sleg, ga bo na pelo.

Jaaka ke ntse ke bua kgantele, dirukutlhi are smart, swift and ruthless mme Botswana is no exception to such kind of ruthless act.

Honourable Kapinga will remember gore go ne go tle go nne le menahune ya gore go na le mo gotweng sleeper cell, fa re lebile nako ya 2010 World Cup kwa South Africa.

A re ipeyeng mo seemong sa gore re itebeng gore re le Botswana le setšhaba re sireletsegile go le kae, fa e leng gore molao o a tlhaela teng go baakanngwe gore o nonofe, o tswelele o re sireletse.
This is the import of why we are debating these laws mo Palamenteng.

Ga re ka ke ya re re bone gore terrorism e setse e jweleletse, e setse e amane le mafatshe otlhe, e bile e tla ka all shapes and forms, e bo e le gore re santse re bua ka dilo tse e leng gore tota they are not meant to be the ones we focus on.

We are focusing mo tshenyetsong-setšhaba, mo tlhaselong ya setšhaba le mo go sireletseng setšhaba.

Jaanong ga gona tsela epe gape.


Go ka nna thona gore e re o tla o lelekile motho o mo utlwile a ne a bua le mongwe physically gore o ya go bolaya semangmang kana o ya go dira tiro e e ntseng jang, e re mapodise boemong jwa gore ba mo tshware jaanong ka gore ga ba na bosupi, go bo gotwe a re yeng go batla court order pele, re tle re mo tshware jaanong re batle bosupi joo.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you and good luck at your new ministry Honourable Minister.

We shall now call upon Honourable Kapinga, Honourable Member for Okavango.

MR KAPINGA (OKAVANGO): Thank you Mr Speaker.


Ke latlhele mo kgannyeng e e fa pele ga rona e. Mr Speaker, terrorism ke mengwe ya melato e metona thata, e bile e tshosetsa kagiso, ledulo le the very existence of a nation.

Re le boeteledipele at this level ya sepolotiki, re tshwanetse re lebelele dilo with a very sober sense.
Ke bua jaana Mr Speaker ke batla go botsa which some may think is controversial, but it is necessary to be raised in order for us re tlhome matlho on the level of the threat against this country.

Potso e ke batlang go e botsa Tona wa Defence and Security ke gore, what was the last terrorism threat or incident e e kileng ya diragala mo Botswana?
When did it happen last because nna to my knowledge, ke sa ganetse se Rre Molale a se buang sa gore some terrorist o kile a transit through our country a ya go tshwarwa kwa Zimbabwe, but the question we need to ask ourselves ke gore, what was the last terrorist incident e e kileng ya diragala mo Botswana or a significant terrorist threat e re kileng ra lebagana le yone re le Botswana?
E e ka dirang gore resources tse re di dirisang on anti-terrorism issues, di bo di nna dikgolo, re bo re dirisa madi a le mantsi thata mo kgannyeng eo.

Nna tse ke di itseng rra, the last two things that I remember e ne e le simulation.

Simulation ya terrorism incident e e kileng ya diragala next to the Office of the President (OP), le simulation e e kileng ya diragala kwa airport, tsotlhe being led ke Lephata la DIS.
But as for any terrorist incident, ga ke e itse rraetsho, o ka nkgakolola, gongwe dingwaga tse ke di nnileng ke le kwa ntle ga sepodise di dirile gore ke lebale dilo tseo.

Terrorism analysis and fusion; potso e ke go e botsang Honourable Minister ke gore, what is the justification ya go isa lephata le kwa DIS?

Ke buisiwa se ke gore masole ba na le intelligence ya bone, e e leng gore part of their responsibility is counter terrorism.
Mapodise ba na le Crime Intelligence Branch e e leng gore part of their responsibility ke terrorism.

E bile thatathata terrorism is a criminal offence and lephata le le lebaganeng le crime mo Botswana ke sepodise and not DIS.

DIS is responsible for national security which covers terrorists’ threats, but once a terrorist incident occurs, ke responsibility ya mapodise.
I am raising this issue Honourable Minister because in my view, experience and international exposure, a counter-terrorism fusion agency is always located on neutral grounds.

Neutral ground is a ministry headquarters like in the United States of America (USA).

If I still remember, it was located in the Attorney General’s Office.

Fa o e tsaya o ya go e tsenya kwa DIS, you are creating fertile ground for inter-agency 58 Hansard No 204Thursday 27th January, 2022COUNTER TERRORISM (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2021 (NO.
40 OF 2021) Second Reading conflict.

DIS is going to think that it is now the boss ya Military Intelligence.

It is going to think that, it is now the boss ya sepodise le Crime Intelligence Branch ya sepodise.

It is now going to think gore setlhako go lela sa yone when it comes to counter-terrorism issues, but counter-terrorism is the equal responsibility ya masole, mapodise le DIS.

So, my advice to you, is that you are making a very big mistake by locating this counter- terrorism fusion agency kwa DIS.
It should be located at your ministry because you will be coordinating inter- agency efforts to deal with terrorism.

E se ka ya nna o kare lephata le lengwe is more senior to others, maphata a a a lekana Honourable Minister.
Fa ke digela kgang ya me Honourable Minister, ke batla ke go reye ke re, institutions tse re di dirang tse, in the light of our declining economic performance, much as national security is important, re tshwanetse re lebelele gore itsholelo ga e sa tlhole e re letlelela to spend madi without reservation, restriction and tightening our budgetary strings mo security.

Madi a re a dirisang mo agencies tsa security must reflect the reality of the threat that we are facing.
We must also maximise on the structures that we already have by just creating efficient coordinating mechanisms rather than going around drawing one agency out of size because that is what we are doing by locating this agency kwa DIS.

You are perpetuating a misconception ya gore DIS is bigger than other agencies.

Terrorism is a crime and those responsible for criminal law enforcement in this country are the police.
But to avoid inter-agency conflict and competition, you should locate the fusion task force in the ministry so that o fetsa dikgang tsa go gogagogana ga maphata rraetsho.

E ne e le yone kgakololo ya me fela mo go wena Honourable Minister.

DR GOBOTSWANG: Clarification.

Ke a leboga.

Honourable Member, o bue ka kgang ya credibility ya DIS gore ka fa e ntseng ka teng gompieno, re e bone e dirisiwa mo ditirong tsa borukutlhi fa o di leba sentle.
A mme e mo seemong sa go fiwa boikarabelo jo bo ntseng jaana Honourable Kapinga?

MR KAPINGA: Ke a leboga for that clarification.

Dikgang tsa credibility ya DIS re di buile thata, e bile di santse di le current.

Ga re ise re bone sepe se se dirilweng to address the concerns tse re setseng re kile ra di bua in the past.

Seemo sa me mabapi le lephata leo, se ntse se eme fela jalo.
Le fa gongwe e bile dilo tse, go direlwa new responsibilities, ke go leka to justify the existence ya DIS e e leng gore has become doubtful in the eyes of the nation.

Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

Molao o ke o ema nokeng ka gore tota fa o o lebelela, o batla gore o sireletse Motswana.

Ke sone se o bonang ke o ema nokeng.

Go maleba gore DIS le Military Intelligence ba BDF ba thuse ka gore dira intelligence gathering, mme ba amogane le ba ba maleba jaaka ba sepodise, gore ditlhotlhomiso tse di maleba di se ka tsa kgopakgopetsana di nne tsone.

Fa ba DIS le Military Intelligence ba ka se ka ba dira jalo, ba tsaya intelligence gathering, re ka iphitlhela re le mo diemong tse di tshwanang le tsa bo Mozambique le Somalia.

Mr Speaker, mme kana terrorism ga se ya ditlhobolo fela.

E re ntse ke tsweletse, tla lebogele gore Tona o lemogile gore molao wa Counter Terrorism o tsamaelana thata le wa DIS, mme se se dira gore go nne le double reporting e e yang kwa go Tautona.

Paakanyo molao e e ya go leka go baakanya seemo se.

Gompieno re tlhokana le investors tse di tlang mo lefatsheng la rona e bile ba batla kagiso.

Ba itse gore lefatshe la Botswana ke lefatshe la kagiso.

Mr Speaker, domestic terrorism e oketsegile fela thata mo lefatsheng la rona la Botswana.
Re bona cash-in- transit robberies tse dintsi fela thata.

Ga o ka ke wa itse gore madi a a tsewang a ya kae, e bile a isiwa kae.

Go tlaa bua Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Mahalapye Bophirima, Honourable Tshere.

MR TSHERE (MAHALAPYE WEST): Thank you very much Honourable Speaker and my apology for earlier fa ke ne ke bua le Honourable Mmusi.

Re ne ra bua kwa botlhokong and ironed our differences.

Ke tsene mo kgannyeng e ya molao wa Counter Terrorism.

Pele re tlhaloganye terrorism sentle le ka fa ba mafatshe a mangwe ba e lebang ka teng.
Kana terrorism ke mo go tewang motho yo mongwe a utlwile botlhoko e bo e le gore gongwe o ka dirisa thulaganyo ya go utlwa botlhoko e go utlwisa motho yo a mo utlwisang botlhoko, botlhoko.

E nna terrorism fa e le gore mafatshe a humileng kana yo o humileng go feta yo mongwe.
Fa ke attack motho ka gore o ntseela tshimo, rre yo ke a tleng ke utlwe a bua thata gore o na le farm, Rre Molale e re ke na le farm ke le moleminyana yo o monnyennyane fa tlase ga gagwe, a bo e le gore he extends farm ya gagwe fela o ntsenya mo teng, a ntseela farm eo a bo a re ka gore ene o motona mo go nna.

Jaanong fa ke tsaya lentswe ke mo tika that is terrorism.

Ke yone e ba e lebang jalo, definition ya teng.

Fa o attack motho yo o humileng.


That is why o lebelela bo Palestine and Israel issue ya teng is defined as terrorism from the Palestinian side but from Israel side is defence and protection of our people.

Therefore, those are the difference how this thing should be looked at.

that term and that is how the word terrorism came about.

That is why organisations like bo Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Self-Proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) came about.

Ke yone problem e e leng international level.


This has been jaaka bakaulengwe ba ntse ba bua since 9/11.

Selo se se ne sa tla to the sharp, re simolola go se leba rotlhe jaanong re tsenya matlho mo teng gore kana go na le ba ba ngongoregang, mme fa ba sa reediwe, ba felela ba tla ka suicide bombers, ka se, ka gore ga re ba reetse.

Ke ne ke remeletse thata mo molaong wa Botswana gore position ya rona in terms of Counter Terrorism, fa re leba terrorism re akanya gore how can we approach it.
Ke go fe sekai; America e rile fa e sena go nna e tlhaselwa ka 9/11, ke ne ke le gone kwa, they took a position ya gore they do not negotiate with terrorists.

George Walker Bush at that time as the President of the United States (US) went on television and stated very clearly that America does not negotiate with terrorists.

So, what does that mean?


It means fa go nna le mathata a ntwa e e amanang le terrorists go raya gore ba ya go boma fela ga ba ka ke ba botsa sepe gore go diragala eng, le lwela eng, kgang ya lona ke eng, ba ya go boma gone foo.

That is the approach of the American system towards terrorism.

A approach ya rona le mo Botswana, re tsere position eo gore we do not negotiate with terrorists?

Fela fa re utlwa gotwe o terrorist, re ya go boma, ga re buisanye, ga re reetse gore naare motho yo a reng.
Ke tlaa go fa sekai; Boko Haram in Nigeria kana e bua ka the Niger Delta.

E ne e le batho fela jaaka Honourable Kapinga a bua gore go tla oil drilling kwa Okavango.

Go ne go tshwana fela le kwa Okavango, kwa Niger Delta in Nigeria.

E rile one day fa go tla the oil companies a bo e le gore go a kgotlelesega gotlhe, e le gore jaanong ga go na fa go ka dirwang teng, ga go na mafudiso, ga go na ditlhapi, the local people were destroyed entirely gone foo and the environment was destroyed.
That was the birth of Boko Haram e le gore jaanong it was responding to that.

Mo e leng gore e ne e gateletswe jaanong, e bo e simolola e leka to respond to gone moo.

Jaanong e respond jang?

E tlaabo e simolola e ikepela oil le yone, e ithekisetsa, e ithekela dibetsa a bo e simolola …(Interruptions)…e dira jalo.

That is why o utlwa ba bangwe ba re it is Jihad.

Jihad ba raya the holy war, gore ke ntwa, ke a itwela.
It is a struggle, I am struggling here and I am showing through Ke gone ka fa terrorism re buang ka teng.
