Former president, Ian Khama has vehemently denied reports that he has gone into ‘self-imposed exile’ in the neighbouring South Africa in an effort to escape harassment of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS).

Khama left the country under mysterious circumstances Monday this week whilst the DIS was waiting for him to hand his weapons at its office at Sebele following a demand by the agency for him to do so. There are fears that Khama has decided to remain in South Africa ‘indefinitely’ for fear of harassment at the hands of the DIS.

The spy agency has already demonstrated its intentions through his ally, Isaac Kgosi who has incessantly been its number one customer. Kgosi, the pioneering DIS director general, has been arrested, searched and arraigned before courts several times. “I am not in exile. I did not flee the country and I am on a private visit having meetings and then visiting family and friends then I will return,” Khama told Mmegi Wednesday without specifying when he will be back. Fears of Khama skipping the country were further heightened by the manner in which he chose to break all travel protocols commensurate with the office of the former president. For instance, before he can travel, he is cleared off by the Office of the President (OP) and International affairs and Cooperation but that was not the case in the latest trip.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
