· ALERTDate: October 28, 2005Persons/Institutions: Private media in BotswanaViolation: VictoryPresidential spokesman, Dr. Jeff Ramsay has denied suggestions that government is planningto stop advertising in private newspapers. Speaking to Mmegi newspaper, he said that there isa distinction between government and the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) therefore, thelatter cannot influence the former in making decisions.He said the matter at hand is different from the 2001 Botswana Guardian/Midweek Sun issue,which was decided by the High Court.In 2001, government banned advertising in the newspapers because it felt they were attackingPresident Festus Mogae and his vice Lt Gen Ian Khama. The High Court later declared theadvertising ban unconstitutional.The uncertainty over the looming ban on adverts in the private press follows a lead story twoweeks back in which Mmegi endorsed Botswana National Front (BNF) candidate, OtsweletseMoupo for the Gaborone West North Constituency. Moupo won the election and BDP blamedtheir candidate’s loss on the press, particularly Mmegi.Some BDP bigwigs were quoted as saying that Mmegi would regret the story as they wouldstop buying and advertising in the paper. But Ramsay’s remarks that government and BDP aretwo different bodies raise more questions than answers.Editor of Midweek Sun Mpho Dibeela said it would be unfortunate for government to banadvertising in the private press as a way of punishment. He said newspapers are struggling andthe ban would make the situation worse. He also cited the 2001 Guardian/Midweek Sun caseas an example of government’s endless war with the press.· ALERTDate: October 17, 2005Persons/Institutions: Onalenna SekgwaViolation: BeatenPhoto-journalist from “Monitor” newspaper Onalenna Sekgwa was assaulted recently by asuspect in a bank armed robbery case for ‘taking pictures without consent’ during an on goingcase at Village Magistrate court in Gaborone.“Monitor” dated 17 October, 2005 reports that Elizabeth Surtee slapped Sekgwa heavily on hishead when he tried to take a photo of her. Surtee was not impressed when she saw Sekgwataking pictures and she asked that he should not to so.When contacted by MISA Botswana, Sekgwa said he was not hurt from the ordeal and that thatincident would not deter him from doing his job. Monitor Editor Gideon Nkala said assaultingjournalists in line of duty was setting a bad precedent for media fraternity as this threatens thefreedom of expression.· ALERTDate: October 14, 2005Persons/Institutions: Otsweletse Moupo (Botswana National Front), Citizens ofBotswanaViolation: CensoredFor a second time on October 14, 2005, Botswana Television cancelled the Matlho-a-Phageprogramme where Gaborone West North by-elections contestants were scheduled to have theirlast debate before the elections scheduled for Saturday, October 15, 2005.The by-election is contested by Otsweletse Moupo of the Botswana National Front (BNF) andRobert Masitara of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).The cancellation of the programme which was supposed to be aired on October 14, 2005,So This Is Democracy? 2005-45-Media Institute of Southern Africa
