Khama extends olive branch to media?

The leader of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) often accuses the local private media of being pro-opposition. He has been consistent when it comes to attacking the local private media. It was therefore a foregone conclusion that the President would take a swipe at the Forth estate at Tati Siding launch of Samson Moyo Guma, only to ‘disappoint’. Instead, Khama devoted his time to criticising opposition parties.

When he turned briefly to the media, Khama remarked: “Bone ba ripota hela se se buiwang, ha (ga) ba na mathata (They just report what is said. They have no problem)”.
