Masire, 'the precocious lad from Kanye'

"The media and other interested parties are informed that (the) Botswana Defence Force headquarters will not issue any statements nor will it authorise the crew of the aircraft to issue any statement about the incident until the Board of Enquiry has completed its task," an official statement said at the time.

The board was made up of three BDF officers and two officials of the Department of Civil Aviation. A parallel investigation, in which experts from Botswana and British Aerospace "would have an input", was taking place in Angola simultaneously.
Known facts preceding the "incident" are that Sir Ketumile Masire and his delegation, which included Ponatshego Kedikilwe, then Minister for Presidential Affairs, and Loiuse Selepeng, then Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were travelling to Luanda for a Frontline States summit.
