Khama acolyte to rejoin BDF

Mabaila has confirmed that he will resign from the public service by the end of May this year. He is employed as a principal health and safety officer at the Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services. Sources close to him claim that he is heading back to the BDF as a senior officer. This is despite the fact that he resigned from the army as a private in 2012.

Although he confirmed his intention to resign from the public service, he was cagey to confirm whether he will be heading back to the barracks. “I am going to seek for greener pastures. My intention is to represent people one day. It might not be now, but I will in some years to come. If someone can ask me to rejoin the BDF, I will gladly do that. Remember, I resigned as a junior and the BDF policy does not allow juniors to join on contract. But it is not a law. Maybe it has changed; I don’t know,” said the soft-spoken 28-year-old.
