Botswana govt impounds opposition leader Duma Boko’s helicopters

The Botswana Unified Revenue Services (BURS) grounded two election campaign helicopters hired by main opposition leader Duma Boko on Wednesday, April 24.

Boko who is the leader of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) had launched a 10-day campaign of 20 constituencies ahead of the October general elections.

The helicopters were seized at Francistown Airport because Boko had allegedly not declared all information about the aircraft to the Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana (CAAB).
