Botswana says Mugabe can be brought down by closing borders

One of Robert Mugabe’s fiercest critics, the Botswana Foreign Minister, on Wednesday launched a stinging attack on the ZANU PF leader, suggesting that the Southern African region should close its borders in an attempt to bring him down. As pressure mounted on Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai to agree to form a unity government to avert the humanitarian catastrophe, Phandu Skelemani told the BBC that SADC nations have failed to move Mugabe with mediation and they should now impose sanctions.
