Khama - Sesana deal :: Mmegi Online

President Ian Khama’s latest move to kiss and make up with some leaders of the Basarwa community left the inhabitants of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve(CKGR)settlements, their advocates, stakeholders and funders in a state of confusion.

While some appear to be comfortable with the latest development, others are already sensing a well-calculated strategy by Ian Khama to paralyse the Basarwa movement.

The government’s sudden change of heart comes a few days after President Khama set up a task force to look into the Basarwa’s leader and hero Roy Sesana’s appeal for mercy for Basarwa from Khama in a meeting that was held at the Office of the President (OP) recently.
