Botswana Declares May 2 Public Holiday
Sources: One of our local contacts in Botswana, the Botswana Government Gazette, and Botswana public holidays. It was announced in the Government Gazette of April 7, that Botswana's President, Ian Khama, had declared that Friday, May 2, 2008, as a one-off bridge public holiday, presumably to compensate the fact that 2 public holidays fall on the same date in 2008, namely May 1st and Ascension Day.
