Khama in campsites controversy :: Mmegi Online

The leasing out of Mabuasehube Pan and Mpayathuthwa campsites to a Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) activist who is said to be close to Minister for Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism Tshekedi Khama has raised eyebrows in the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP).

Sources in the DWNP claim that Sean Sebele of Inter Tourism Group was un-procedurally granted a lease to run the campsites, which were previously run by the department, without a tender. “The company was given the campsites without any tendering, no formal writing. It was a directive from the ministry to give Sebele the campsites,” a source said.

Sebele, who in 2015 stood for the BDP central committee elections as an additional member is said to have ambitions of challenging MP Samson Moyo Guma in Tati East constituency. Guma and Khama are said to be not in good terms.
