Opposition accuse BoB of political mischief

Botswana Congress Party (BCP) spokesperson, Dumelang Saleshando said that the Central Bank is being overly presumptuous when it announced last week that Khama's portrait will replace that of his predecessor, Festus Mogae in the country's currency.

"They assume that he will win in the next two months. Why didn't they wait until the results of the elections are announced? I don't think the nation will be prejudiced if Mogae stays on the note until the elections. There are cost implications and we don't understand why they can't wait until the end of October. It is like they are saying as Bank of Botswana that they know the results of the elections," Saleshando said.
