Will Khama give opposition cabinet posts?

Khama is expected to take over from President Festus Mogae early next year. First to predict is the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) vice president, Kesitegile Gobotswang in his opinion letter that appeared in Mmegi dated Wednesday 17, October 2007 recently titled 'Bye, bye democracy! Welcome dictatorship'.

 
He said: "Khama might use all his might and the state machinery to destroy the opposition parties. Being a man of surprises, it will not be surprising if he co-opts some opposition members of parliament into cabinet". Gobotswang added that other critical persons associated with opposition parties could be offered diplomatic assignments to silence them.
