No person is above the law!

We all know that whether citizens or non-citizens residing in Botswana, all institutions operating within our borders have to abide by the same laws, and we would like to believe that no person is above the law! Reports that a certain celebrity went berserk, and started quarrelling with law enforcement officers because he wanted to break the law, and be given the green light while doing so are very disappointing and shocking, to say the least.

Locally celebrated musician, Odirile Sento popularly known as Vee Mampeezy, reportedly had a run-in with law enforcement officers on Thursday.

In the video that went viral on social media, Vee Mampeezy can be heard shouting at the police officers saying: “Le irang, le tswetse traffic? Le irang, go na le robbery?” This, before the traffic officer tells him, "A ko o ikete pele." He continues in an irate voice: “Today ga ke ikete brah yaaka, ba ira eng?” Loosely translated: "What are you doing closing down traffic? What are you doing, is there a robbery?" while the police officer tells him to calm down to which he replies: "Today I am not going to calm down my brother.
