And so to enjoin, to direct and to do one's damn-est - or is it?

I am not writing because Mbuya is eminent in that fraternity but rather because Mbuya seems to have changed the position he held in 1992 when he and a fellow journalist Prof Malema were dragged before the courts for allegedly 'wrongfully receiving and publishing a secret document contrary to Sections 4(3) and 4(4) of the National Security Act.' Kenneth Good. 1997. p.14.

At that time Mbuya seems to have held high public good as the main reason for making public what otherwise would have been swept under the carpet.  In the book from which the quotation above is taken and in most of his other writings Professor Kenneth Good argues convincingly that the president of Botswana is for all purposes and intents above the law. That though unelected the president rules alone. The story of what happened to Kenneth Good is now history.
