Botswana: Women Affairs Boss Defends Dress Code Directive

The director of women affairs department in the Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs, Matty Legwaila has stated that there is nothing wrong with the directive released on Friday that requires civil servants to dress in a manner that ensures that certain parts of their bodies are not exposed.
