The principal of Francistown Rural Training Centre in Botswana, Imi Phili, has expressed disappointment that the quality of hides and skins from municipal slaughter centres in Botswana have not improved.

Speaking at a workshop on the commercialisation of hides and skins at Francistown, Phili lamented that butchery owners in municipal areas were not helping the extension agents to lodge complaints they had on bad flaying to the council. He was also concerned that hides and skins from butcheries and home kills were not being recovered, and any that were tended to be of inferior quality.
