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

Khama shared that during the 43rd Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit in Angola on Thursday, where he was an invitee, the interaction occurred.

“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.
