Abstract :
Botswana imposed a nationwide import ban
on some vegetable or horticultural products into
Botswana with effect from January 1, 2022. This ban
according to the Minister of Agriculture, Fidelis Molao,
as stated in Mmegi newspaper, www.mmegi.bw is meant
to improve food security at national and household levels
in Botswana. Molao, further states that this vegetable
import ban is meant to support local farmers and to
foster agricultural independence and will run for a
period of 2 years, upon which it will be reviewed. The
ban further serves to help grow the agricultural sector in
Botswana. After 2 years the ban will then be reviewed to
determine if it continues, or not. In some sectors of
Botswana government leadership, this ban is also meant
to reduce the country’s high import bill. The vegetable
products which are banned for import into the country
includes, tomatoes, ginger, watermelons, butternuts,
potatoes, carrots, beetroots, cabbage, lettuce, turmeric,
peppers, green mealies and herbs. This study therefore
was carried out to assess this relationship between
leadership lessons (empowerment, strategic thinking,
adaptability, self-awareness, and communications) and
how they(lessons) relate to the vegetable importation ban
in Bo
