A NEW LOOK, A RENEWED COMMITMENT
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) officially unveiled its new corporate identity, a fresh uniform and logo that symbolize more than just a change in appearance.
As Director General Mr. Phemelo Ramakorwane rightly stated, this new identity is about professionalism, credibility, and legitimacy. It is a promise to the people of Botswana that the fight against illicit drugs is being waged with integrity and visibility.
Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Hon. Moeti Caesar Mohwasa, reminded us of the true stakes: This is not just about enforcement; it is about protecting our families, our youth, and the future of our nation. While we must deal decisively with traffickers, we must also extend a hand of rehabilitation and support to those struggling with addiction. Recovery is possible.
The message was clear: The DEA cannot succeed alone. It requires a united front.
I echo the call to all Batswana:
● Parents
● Dikgosi
● Educators
● Faith Based Organizations
● The Private Sector
Let us all join hands to protect our communities from this scourge. Let us reject the stigma surrounding rehabilitation and celebrate the lives that can be restored.
As MP Phenyo Segokgo highlighted, the true measure of the DEA’s success will not be the logo on their sleeve, but the lives they save, the trust they earn, and the communities they safeguard.
To the men and women of the DEA: Your nation stands behind you. Wear your new uniform with pride, and let it be a symbol of excellence, discipline, and unwavering dedication to the people of Botswana.
