Uqhubeke ethi umhlangano wabo lekhansili uvumelane ukuthi kuqalwe ukukhitshwa abokuza endaweni ezitsheyeneyo zedolobho.
“Sesikhathele ngodaba lolu, kulabanye abokuza abalegunya lokusitshela ukuthi abayi ndawo, noma umthetho usegcekeni ukuthi akumelanga bebangisane indawo zokuthengisa labantwana basekhaya.”
Owenhlanganiso yeZimbabwe Community kweleBotswana, umnunzana Cephas Tshuma, uthi umthetho okhona ngabokuza, ikakhulu abalamaphepha, kawuzwisiseki.
“Isinqumo lesi ngibona ukuthi kasisebenzi. Inengi labantu kade besebenza belamabhizimusi kumbe umsebenzi, kodwa sebalahlekelwa. Balamaphepha okuhlala elizweni, kumele babhadale ama rent.”

UThebe uthi ngitsho lase khaya eZimbabwe akungeke kube kuhle ukuvulela noma ngubani ukuthi athengise ezitaladeni.
"Lakithi singavuma njani ukuthi umuntu waphandle abuye azothengisa. Mina ngithi kumele sithobele umthetho."
Kungekude, eleBotswana labika ukuthi ingatsha ezinengi, ezifana lokubhaka, ukutshaya izitina, umsebenzi wokubaza kanye lokugezisa izimota, usongezizalwane zakhe kuphela abokuza bengavunyelwa.
