I cannot see why we cannot become self-sufficient in food security. — Christian de Graaff

"BMC management and its board, I am not going to take the blame for the collapse of the abattoir because I acted accordingly."

"Through the Integrated Support Programme for Arable Agricultural Development (ISPAAD), we have been able to triple production to 90 000 metric tones, but we should do more to reach self sufficiency."

"The Task force has since presented its report to me. I have shared the report with Cabinet and have made a statement to Parliament."

"It is not by chance that this project is situated in Pandamatenga. It is because of the high potential benefits and returns that are envisaged."

"In the Ghanzi district we used to take a long trek to Lobatse, some on foot, others on horseback in order to sell our cattle to the Botswana Meat Commission in Lobatse. The country now has a good network of tarred roads, and those time-consuming trips are now made with ease."

"I wish to observe that there has been defamatory material published about me in the media, and hereby caution that like any other Botswana citizen, I have a right to protect my good reputation."
