The nation that united and rallied behind its President, is reeling in anguish, disappointment and utter consternation that has come to characterise it’s leaders myriad character.  Khama maintained consistency in hyping hope by throwing all sorts of platitudes like economic diversification, 5Ds (Democracy, Development, Delivery, Discipline and Dignity) which he put forth as his roadmap and which he does not only ignore but also failed to live up to at the close of his presidency.

In his last State of the Nation Address (SONA) on November 7, 2017, as in the past including the slouching President it was difficult to discern the real state of affairs of the nation as it was to notice whether it was his last, save from his assertion that he would hand the baton “in the capable hands of his Vice”, Mokgweetsi Masisi.
