Masisi, Khama feud must end

Masisi and Khama who are protégé and mentor respectively, have not been in talking terms, which is bizarre considering that during the transfer of power, about three years ago, the process seemed seamless and very peaceful. Khama spoke well of his successor as an intelligent and able leader, who will take Botswana somewhere.

The Khama-Masisi relationship is a strange affair in the history of Botswana and threatens to even tarnish the good name of our presidency as an institution if not dispensed of timeously. For our peace-loving nation, the development is foreign and diametrically unprecedented. It is shocking more so that even Khama has also failed to share his story with Batswana, yet he expects the nation to empathise with him.
