GABORONE, Botswana (AP) - Botswana welcomed a crew making a film of a popular series of detective novels set in this southern African country, with officials saying the movie would generate good publicity for Africa.
The film based on the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith is expected to be released by Christmas, and has the backing of Botswana's government.
"Africa for the first time will be shown in its true warmth and welcoming spirit," Kitso Mokaila, Botswana's tourism minister, said at a Tuesday news conference.
