Botswana denies Herald story

The Herald newspaper has come under fire from the Botswana government for publishing what they say is misleading content about their position on Zimbabwe. On Thursday the Herald published a report entitled "MDC-T leader lied to us about Zimbabwe situation".

The paper went on to write: “Leaders from Zambia, Botswana and Tanzania expressed “embarrassment” at having “blindly supported Tsvangirai” during the 28th SADC Heads of State Summit in Sandton, Johannesburg, after South Africa’s President Thabo Mbeki, who is facilitating talks between Zimbabwe’s political parties, gave them a full briefing on what was taking place.”

But the Office of the President of Botswana said it is concerned about the misleading article. Botswana said its position, with respect to the political situation in Zimbabwe, has not altered.
