Now BDP creates enemy in Batawana :: Mmegi Online

MAUN: President Ian Khama’s weekend rally in Maun, may just have created another tribal enemy for the ruling party as Batawana have been left smoldering following what they considered avitriolic attack on their paramount chief.

Batawana Kgosi Tawana Moremi’s age regiment, Matsaakgang, said on Sunday they will be approaching the village leadership to ask for permission to address the tribe, following Khama’s “denegrading statements against Tawana.”

Matsaakgang said this at the Maun main Kgotla as they convened to prepare for Tawana’s birthday which falls on October 18, just six days before the general election date. The regiment’s apparent anger follows a weekend political rally addressed by Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) president Ian Khama and party top brass. Kgosi Tawana, is the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) parliamentary candidate for Maun West
