Is it fair that the Botswana government should be giving validations to UK or Irish licensed pilots when there are pilots who are citizens of and licensed in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and all other twelve members of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) looking for jobs flying as pilots within the community? It is also not in the interests of the SADC that companies operational in Botswana employ these foreign pilots. There should be a restrictive condition put on a foreign company being able to operate in Botswana. The life that the pilots have in Maun should reflect opportunity for its citizens not for mercenary pilots. You call it Fair Trade when you talk about bananas. The same should be good for people.
