I'm not a fugitive – Khama

Monday, May 13, 2024 | 590 Views |

Former president, Ian Khama, has refuted claims that he doesn't have locus standi to institute a case in which he wants Local Government and Rural Development's Minister Kgotla Autlwetse to declare his preference as regent of Bangwato.
