Vice President Slumber Tsogwane has commended First Lady Neo Masisi for her strong advocacy in the fight against drug abuse.

Speaking at a youth dialogue on drug use in Rakops on Wednesday 19th April, the Vice President said the journey embarked on by the First Lady meant that the war had been declared, therefore the onus was upon Batswana to play their part in the mission.

Parents and all stakeholders have been urged to come up with possible solutions and ways of stemming the rising tide of substance abuse in Botswana.

Mrs Neo Masisi, the First Lady of the Republic of Botswana, hosted Mrs Muriel Zeender Berset, the spouse of the President of the Swiss Confederation, on the 7th February, 2023.
