Former president Ian Khama has shed light on a viral video clip capturing his handshake with his political rival, President Mokgweetsi Masisi.

“After receiving the award and standing with the leaders on the stage for a photograph. We were invited to take our seats. On my way back to my seat where he and others were seated and he called out his congratulations to me as I was passing by him. So I turned to acknowledge him as he came out of his seat to shake my hand, followed by some other leaders,” Khama explained.
