| Botswana’s foreign minister has told a South African TV | |
| channel that the British government approached his country to ask whether it | |
| would be willing to receive migrants deported from the UK. | |
| He didn’t say when the approach was made. | |
| It follows unconfirmed reports earlier this month in the | |
| British press that the UK government was seeking to replicate its Rwanda scheme | |
| in Botswana, Armenia, Ivory Coast and Costa Rica. | |
| Speaking in a phone interview on Newzroom Afrika, Lemogang | |
| Kwape said that Botswana refused the request which he said was made by the | |
| British foreign secretary and minister for Africa through "diplomatic | |
| channels". | |
| Mr Kwape said Botswana was unable to accept migrants | |
| from Britain because it was dealing with its own immigration issues. | |
| "The British government doesn’t want these people in their | |
| country so they want to bury them in a faraway country….To receive unwanted | |
| immigrants from another country while we’re dealing with our own problems in | |
| the region would be unfair to Botswana," he said. | |
