Beer tax.
No way you can get a beer for 7 pula in Maun any more mate. Unless you're keen on the chibuku. Gone are those days.
That story on people fighting is rubbish. The pilot culture in Maun is no longer that of drinking and being a nuisance. Hunters/Guides/Researchers get into fights far more often, however it's not a big enough 'story' to warrant being put into the 'news'paper. There are people here still intent on dividing the expat community when really, relations haven't been better in a long time.
I have heard that there is a possibility of an apology being written after a certain proprietor had a word with the publisher asking why his establishment had been singled out in the local tabloid.
