Moswaane Defends Khamau00e2u20acu2122s Speech At Spouse's Burial

FRANCISTOWN: Francistown West Member of Parliament, Ignatius Moswaane says former president Ian Khama’s political statements at the funeral of his spouse, Priscilla Moswaane over the weekend, did not surprise him.

Moswaane, who is currently serving suspension from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), added that to the best of his interpretation, the political statements made by Khama were not a veiled jab directed at the neither ruling party nor government as many had insinuated.

“Khama was speaking at the burial of a political warrior. When you bury [the wife of] a political warrior you should expect political statements. What Khama said did not surprise me. There is nothing wrong with what he said. After all we have different ways of comforting others. That was his way of comforting me and my family. We are happy with that,” Moswaane maintained yesterday in an interview.
