Army chief cautions against regime change calls

Commander of Botswana Defence Force (BDF) Lieutenant-General Tebogo Masire has denounced calls for regime change saying change could only come through the ballot.

Addressing members of the media yesterday, Masire fired from all his artillery hitting at  journalists, politicians and whoever stood in his firing line. He accused some politicians of trying to cause instability by suggesting the removal of the government of the day through statements like "regime change". "After changing the regime, to whom do you hand over the power?" he asked.
