- Description
- The subject of foreigners and immigration is an emotive issue. For some, it conjures images of undocumented immigrants. For others, foreigners are an enemy who allegedly take over jobs and business sectors that should have been reserved for locals. Studies have however, shown that migration is in fact a highly beneficial phenomenon for both receiving and sending country. The receiving country often benefits from the skills of migrants and even cultural exchange and enrichment while the sending country benefits from remittances among other things.
In this interview, the Lesotho Times Editor Herbert Moyo engages with two foreign nationals, Zambian national Dr Paul Banda Launga Jr and Zimbabwean Leonard Nyambuya who explain how they are making a difference in Lesotho in their chosen professions.
