Africa Live: Embattled SA's parliament speaker surrenders to police - BBC News | |
(32 minutes later) | |

Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has criticised proposed legislation in Britain to ban the import of trophies from hunted endangered animals, including elephant tusks. | |
The British government says the ban will play an important role in protecting threatened wildlife. | |
But Mr Masisi defended trophy hunting as a means of controlling the population of elephants, describing UK plans to ban it as "condescending" and "colonial conquest". | |
He said there had been no attempt to understand the impact a ban would have on his country. | |
The Botswana leader described the move as hypocritical as Britain allows the hunting of stags and export of their antlers. | |
A moratorium on hunting was lifted in Botswana in 2019. | |
The southern African country says with an elephant population of more than 130,000, there has been an increase in cases of conflict with humans. | |
