ANC Fires Salvo At Western 'Lackeys'

Speaking at a celebration to mark the Botswana National Front's (BNF) 45th anniversary in Mochudi on Saturday, Modise said it was disappointing to learn that some countries were planning to host United States of America (US) military bases. She was clearly referring to Botswana, which has been accused of showing keen interest in hosting the US-Africa Command, commonly called AFRICOM.

Modise said they are concerned that "some of the leaders want to host people who want to hurt us. They think as long as they can get funding from these Western people they are fine. But I can tell you that we are not happy at all," she said.
