The House of Chiefs (or House of Traditional Leaders) is a post-colonial assembly, either legislative or advisory, that is recognised by either a national or regional government as consisting of and providing a collective, public voice for an ethnic group's pre-colonial authorities. Although often influential within the indigenous culture, its members do not usually function as a modern nation's primary law-making body (cf. British House of Lords), being neither representative (i.e. democratically elected) nor consisting of members appointed individually by the government in power, whether democratic or not. It consists of all or some of the "traditional leaders", historically known in English as chiefs, of a country or a sub-division thereof.

The Commission of the African Union acts as the executive/administrative branch or secretariat of the AU (and is somewhat analogous to the European Commission). It consists of a number of Commissioners dealing with different areas of policy. The African Union Headquarters are in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It should be distinguished from the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, (based in Banjul, Gambia), which is a separate body that reports to the African Union.

Ban Greyhound Racing in Botswana
From Cradle to the Grave Greyhound Racing is inherently Cruel Worldwide and especially more so in Botswana Africa. Greyhound Racing in Botswana and breeding is not illegal, despite being illegal in neighbouring country South Africa there is over breeding and the Greyhounds are being kept in poor conditions.
The Irish and British Greyhound racing industry are responsible for greyhounds being shipped across the world like cattle.
Botswana is almost a 400km drive from South Africa where Greyhound racing remains illegal, but in 2014 the greyhounds began pouring into Botswana from South Africa where today a market for breeding appears to be accelerating as greyhounds are in high demand to be cross bred with other sighthound breeds before selling them on to the farmers.
Sadly a lack of education, money, disease, and the climate is an issue. Caged do not believe the people of Botswana have intent to harm these dogs, but they are certainly mass breeding them and not equipped to give them the care they need, causing them harm.
Caged hold the Irish and British Greyhound racing industry wholly responsible for continuing to allow these loyal dogs to be exported all over the world, and creating an uncontrollable disaster.
A loophole in the South African law allows greyhounds to be raced providing there are no spectators or gambling taking place.It is this loophole that appears to have kick started a great interest in greyhounds or as the people of Botswana and Gabarone call them, 'Speedhounds' with a high demand for Sighthounds by people who have little to no access to veterinary help or advice.
Many pups die as new breeders do not have any clue as to how they are supposed to treat them Botswana Greyhound Association promotes the breeding and racing of greyhounds. It seems that greyhounds are raced from just 9mths old!
Caged are told that the 2 adult dogs shown in the images suffered from heatstroke. (excluding the dog shown in the Botswana Greyhound Association Photo)

Dogs are being callously overbred and used as a currency and sold off. These defenceless Greyhounds are being raced to DEATH . They are also being used and abused for hunting. Once these Greyhounds are surplus to requirements they are brutally Killed. There are no rehoming or adoption process in place. There are limited animal welfare laws where APCA have barely enough facilities resources to look after rescued dogs. Greyhounds in Botswana need urgent help and protection.

Greyhounds are NOT machines, they are living feeling sentient beings that do NOT deserve to be bred from exploited due to their speed.
Ban Greyhound/Dog Racing in South Africa
Greyhound racing has been banned in South Africa since 1946 . There has been many attempts to make it legal have been quashed based on the sheer animal abuse and it would encourage gambling to the country.
With South Africa still needing to implement legal measures in Dog Fighting, Puppy Mills, and Animal Welfare Law to be implemented.
Racing is Cruel and Inhumane
Dog racing is synonymous with animal abuse and cruelty. Rules and regulations cannot satisfactory address or control these issues as indicated by cases across the world.
Trainers and kennel caretakers very often keep an appalling low standard in terms of the general care of the dogs at their kennel facilities resulting in serious animal welfare concerns. It varies from lack of provision in basic needs such as proper food, water, adequate living environment and medical
Enduring Lives of Confinement
There is no doubt that racing dogs are confined to enclosures, cages or kennels. Dog racers are the first to admit that racing dogs love to run—yet it is through their actions that these dogs are confined for most of their lives. The dogs are sometimes kept in their cages for 20 or more hours per day. The dogs are only taken out of their cages when they compete in races or during training.
Confinement denies the dogs the opportunity of undertaking normal activities.Injuries are inherent in dog racing, regardless of the conditioning.
Greyhounds are sight hounds, and trained to chase a lure which at the race track is a ‘dummy’ attached to a fast moving mechanism that moves along a rail. However in order to get young dogs (or later in their career, bored dogs) to chase the mechanical lure, they may be ‘blooded’ using live animals. Animals used for blooding include hares, rabbits, guinea pigs and kittens. They may have their legs broken or be harmed to make them scream and excite the dogs.
Drug Abuse
Racing dogs are commonly drugged to affect their performance and alter the outcome of the race. Both therapeutic and non-therapeutic drugs are widely used in the dog racing industry. Therapeutic drugs are used to treat both injuries resulting from this enterprise and also to maintain good management practises in routine care such as de-worming medications. Some of these therapeutic drugs will affect the performance of the dog and may be used for this purpose, in order for a dog to race and test negative, the drugs must have worked through their systems and the animals should be allowed a period of rest, however this does not always happen.
Disposal of Non - Racer and Breeding
Racing greyhounds have a limited racing life-span of five years excluding their performance abilities and excluding injuries – so there is a continuing need to breed replacement dogs for ‘top tracks’. Only a selected few dogs make it to the actual race and the surplus dogs will be sold into lower level tracks, used for illegal hunting/poaching or disposed of in inhumane manners such as killing or abandoning the non-viable dogs.
Many unwanted and stray animals are euthanised by animal shelters across the country on a daily basis due to over population of dogs. Should dog racing be legalised it would mean that more dogs would be bred for this industry, resulting in more unwanted dogs being dumped at animal shelters, resulting in a rise of euthanasia statistics.
Failed Attempts to Declare Dog Racing Legal
In the High Court of South Africa (Free State) - United Greyhound Racing and Breeders Society vs Vrystaat Dobbel and Wedren Raad en Andere 2003(2) SA 269 (0) – the applicants sought an order that declared:
The Ordinance against dog racing had become abrogated by disuse as there were no efforts to enforce it.
Alternatively that it had been substituted by implication by the Free State Gambling and Racing Act 6 of 1996
Further alternatively that its provisions were unconstitutional
They failed on all counts and had insufficient funds to pay out the cost orders against them. Gambling is now legal in South Africa and proponents argue, that the ban on dog racing should now be lifted due to the change in gambling laws. However many things have changed since 1949 – including South Africa becoming a fully-fledged democracy and the introduction of the Animal Protection Act, being promulgated in 1962.
All animals should have the right to the five freedoms:
1. Freedom from hunger and thirst
2. Freedom from discomfort
3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease 4. Freedom to express normal behaviour 5. Freedom from fear and distress

Ban Dog Fighting and Hunting
Dog Fighting in South Africa
The Barbaric Dog Fighting It is a multimillion-rand industry with an intricate underground web ranging from impromptu events in a back alley with stolen dogs to a carefully planned and organised enterprise, using family bred dogs and held in a location specially designed and maintained for the purpose of showcasing this brutal event.
The American Pit Bull Terrier has become the most popular dog breed victim of this crime in South Africa. Dogs used for these fights can either be purpose bred for these fights or stolen from loving homes. Fighting dogs are denied their five freedoms – they are often antagonised, beaten, starved or injected with steroids to increase aggression. They spend their lives chained up or locked in small cages in filthy conditions. Those dogs who do not show sufficient fighting potential or lose in the pit fights are left to succumb to their untreated injuries or may be killed in the most brutal of manners such as by hanging, strangulation, electrocution, drowning or being beaten to death.

SOWETO— In South Africa, dog owners have been using greyhounds and Dogs to hunt for rabbits, small antelope and other game.
Greyhounds and Dogs bred for hunting as kept in horrific conditions and once surplus to requirement are left to die no Veterinary care or vaccinations.
Impact Of Wildlife from illegal Hunting
Illegal hunting with dogs is rife in parts of South Africa and this is having a serious impact on wildlife, including the Endangered Oribi Ourebia ourebi antelope.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) calls on the public to report illegal dog hunting to them. "If we don't stop this practice, antelope like the Oribi could soon be extinct in South Africa," says Samson Phakathi, Field Officer with the EWT's Threatened Grassland Species Programme. "Oribi are already threatened by habitat loss and hunting with domestic dogs is causing a serious decline in the population. Hunting with dogs also affects livestock, which has financial implications for farmers."
Although there are stringent laws against hunting with dogs, organised 'taxi hunts', as they are called, where people gather from across the country in order to gamble on a dogs' hunting success, can be financially very rewarding to dog owners.
