Khama never wanted to be President!

President Ian Khama has not addressed the nation on the matter, preferring to pass the buck to his ailing Vice-President Mompati Merafhe. Instead the president has been donating blankets to the poor and visiting the country's jails. In the meantime, emotions are running high and the people have become impatient as witnessed on social networks and commentaries in the media. With what is going one we have decided to reproduce extracts from the March 2009 interview Khama granted CNN International:

"By nature, maybe the reason why little is known about me is because I prefer to maintain a low profile. You may be aware that before I entered politics, I was in the military and it had not actually been my intention to make politics a career.
