Khama's continued use of state aircraft riles rivals

On the eve of the elections, Vice President Ian Khama addressed rallies in the two villages on the same day.  To cover the two villages, which are almost 500km apart, Khama had to fly.  He addressed the Mathangwane rally in the morning and appeared in Hatsalatladi in the afternoon.

Khama was flown by a Botswana Defence Fence (BDF)  aircraft to Francistown from where he later drove to Mathangwane, a few kilometres away along Maun road.  After addressing the Mathangwane rally, the VP later boarded the same aircraft for Hatsalatladi.
