The recent Fifth Botswana-South Africa Bi-National Commission meeting in Pretoria has paved way for former president Ian Khama’s impending extradition to Botswana to answer for criminal charges the State has laid against him.

President Mokgweetsi Masisi and his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa held bilateral talks on Friday, specifically in the area of cooperation between the two Southern African neighbouring nations.
