Tutume — Assistant Minister of Health, Dr Alfred Madigele, has urged Batswana to help in the fight against illegal trade of tobacco products. Speaking at the World NO Tobacco commemoration in Nata recently, Dr Madigele noted that some companies had been known to use loopholes in tobacco control laws to weaken governance systems and indulge in illegal trade of tobacco products. He indicated that that his ministry and other stakeholders such as Botswana Police Service and Botswana Unified Revenue Services (BURS) were fighting illegal cross border importation of tobacco products.
