Kedikilwe to become Vice President?

FRANCISTOWN: A political analyst from the University of Botswana (UB), Log Raditlhokwa, says that the Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources and Acting President, Ponatshego Kedikilwe, could become the next vice president (VP) of the Republic of Botswana.

Apart from Merafhe's illness, we all know that Khama made it clear when he took the oath of office that Merafhe will be replaced," elaborated Raditlhokwa.
