Khama says 'Masisi driving country to Rwanda' :: Mmegi Online

SEROWE: "He is driving this country to another Rwanda." Former president, Ian Khama made the comments at a party meeting purportedly called by the party elders in Serowe, saying Presicent Mokgweetsi Masisi 's "tribalistic" utterances constituted a grave threat to national stability.

A charged up Khama said such sentiments had at no time surfaced during the tenure of the former presidents, and it has never been a concern under his leadership hence the peace that prevailed. He said the concerns are alarming and cannot be tolerated. He described tribalism as very dangerous and appealed to Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) members across the country to be patient as there was no tribe more important nor superior to others. “As Bangwato paramount chief, I reiterate to you that we are not superior to any tribe. I have never said that in my entire life and no state president has ever said it before me,” said Khama.

Khama called upon Bangwato to exercise restraint on some of the issues as they might separate the nation.
