Bakgalagadi don't want paramount chief - Mogae

President Festus Mogae has advised that the problem between the government and Kamanakao's call for the amendment of some sections of the constitution to allow the Bayei tribe to have a paramount chief can only be resolved through dialogue and compromise.

The President was responding to a question during a Kgotla meeting in Maun last week. According to Mogae "it takes two to tango" and the probable solution is through dialogue and compromise, he added, stating that according to the constitution all Batswana are equal.

He reminded his audience that Ngamiland, like any other area in the country, is not the only district with different tribes. He said he is a Motalaote from Central District where the Bangwato are the major tribe but they live together peacefully and harmoniously.
