Mokone dares Khama

Yesterday the state newspaper, the Daily News reported that the Sunday Standard newspaper could face a civil claim for defamation following its publication of a story headlined, ‘President hit in car accident while driving alone at night’, which appeared in the paper’s edition of August 31 to September 6, 2014.

Yesterday, a defiant Mokone said they have decided to ignore the letter from Khama’s lawyers, Collins Newman and Company. The lawyers had given the paper until September 26 to retract its story and apologise to Khama fully and unconditionally.
