Btv stoops low with 'Khama obsession'

We are not averse to the idea that the activities of a president have potential to make big news, but this should not be a licence to overdo things. The operational word here is potential and that means that not everything a president does is news. It only has more potential to make big news.

Of late, we have seen a sinister pattern in the way government media covers Khama and his deputy Mompati Merafhe. It seems Khama is viewed as an automatic news item. This in itself could be viewed innocently as an attempt to keep the public aware of what their top leader is doing. However, the politics of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is too complex and such a view of what is currently going on at state media is simplistic.
