Is Khama Obliged To Wed?

Perhaps the reason for talking about his marital status has been prompted by incessant pleas from the public and other senior citizens that the president should get married. "Some of you are saying I keep delaying to get married. It means if I get married I'm going to encounter some problems since I'm still handaling other problems in the party," he said to the amusement of the audience.

In the past, Khama has been quoted as saying that his reason for not getting married was that he feared it would fail.
