Youth, Culture and Sport Minister Thapelo Olopeng yesterday distanced himself from the Vice President race as reports continue to link him to the vacant post.

“ I am not running for the VP, and I have not been approached to be the Vice President.

I also read somewhere that I have realigned rivalries and I’m working with Isaack Kgosi(DIS Director General), to block Tshekedi Khama; the decision for that post lies solely with the President, he will choose and make his plans known to all of us; but I get angry when this race now starts causing people to soil my name and turning me against my colleagues who know me as a neutral”, Olopeng told The Monitor.
