I never ordered Basarwa torture-Pilane

The Allegations
*The Botswana Guardian issue of 21 May 2010 paraphrases allegations made by Kuela Kiema in his book "Tears For My Land".

The article bearing the heading "Pilane ordered Basarwa assault-book" sets out the dramatic allegations that I ordered the harassment and an assault on Basarwa several years ago. Those allegations are false in the extreme.

*One evening when I still worked at the office of the President, I received a call from Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi.She said that she was with President Ian Khama, then Vice President, and that he wished to speak to me. He said that they had information that there were, in New Xade, some American and German celebrities who had, for a few days, been holding meetings with Mr Roy Sesana and a number of other Basarwa. They together had, he said, been planning to assemble a large number of Basarwa with whom to  enter the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) without Permits in contravention of the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act, Cap. 38:01.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
