Just days before the dust of the Serowe kgotla meeting addressed by Bangwato chieftaincy could settle, President Mokgweetsi Masisi will set foot in his predecessor and now foe, Ian Khama’s backyard tomorrow (Tuesday).

In a situation akin to entering a lion’s den, Masisi is set to travel to Serowe where he will address a kgotla meeting in the middle of a volatile atmosphere as his feud with Khama shows no sign of abating.

The President is on a countrywide tour since last week but is expected to address a potentially restive crowd in Serowe. Masisi and Khama have not seen eye-to-eye since their fallout two years ago, leading to the former head of state defecting to the opposition Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). Masisi’s meeting, which is part of the President’s scheduled public engagements, comes just three days after Bangwato in Serowe vowed to stand with their Kgosikgolo, Khama. The battle lines have been drawn and it seems indeed Bangwato are ready to defend their own judging by the state of affairs of the recent meeting.

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