Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) activist Macdonald Peloetletse could find himself in a world of trouble after former president Ian Khama sought a demand for payment of P1.5 million over an allegedly defamatory Facebook post the former published last Thursday.

Khama has instructed his attorneys to demand a retraction and an unconditional apology from Peloetletse over a statement the latter allegedly published on the Gabz FM news page, with contents about his former BDP leader. On top of that, Khama is demanding that Peloetletse pays damages for defamation in the sum of P1,500,000.

According to the letter, Peloetletse is said to have written that soldiers suffered more under the Khama regime than his predecessors. Peloetletse allegedly accused Khama of stealing funds from the United Nations (UN), which were meant to remunerate soldiers who were involved in UN operations during his tenure as the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) commander.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
