Botswana: MISA launches Setswana version of African Broadcasting Charter

The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Botswana chapter has launched the Setswana version of the African Charter on Broadcasting. This is part of the African Charter on Broadcasting's effort to encourage countries in the region to promote their indigenous languages. The African Charter was itself launched in May 2002 as one of the products of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights and serves as one of the modern blueprint for policies and laws determining the future of broadcasting and information technology in Africa.
