Lost opportunity in the Masisi administration (Part 2)

Having been in power for closely two years, and vice president for close to four years under Ian Khama’s shadow, he should have at least gotten a good understanding of the problems we face as a country.

And this 10, 000 finds already a queue of graduates who graduated five years before them.
