GABORONE, April 29 — Botswana Defense Force (BDF) on Saturday celebrated its 41st year of existence, having been established in 1977 by an Act of parliament.
Botswana president Mokgweetsi Masisi officiated the celebrations at the National Stadium in Gaborone, the capital city, with the facility fully packed, mostly by children, who braved the morning chill to watch the army men and women demonstrate their skills.
The BDF was formed from the remnants of the then Botswana Police Mobile Unit (PMU), which had been taking care of the Southern African country since independence from the British in 1966.
Political turmoil in the region at that time, especially the liberation struggle in the then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), a neighbor to the north, and the political tension in South Africa, a neighbor to the south, posed major security challenges for Botswana and its young security force, hence the birth of Botswana Defense Force in 1977.
