The Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kgotla Autlwetse has said as long as former president Ian Khama’s uncles do not bring him to meet President Mokgweetsi Masisi, they will not meet the President either.

The uncles wrote a press release on Friday calling on Masisi to meet them and accussing Autlwetse of being “a conflicted emissary with a vested political interest in the stand-off between his boss Masisi and his Paramount Chief Khama". Speaking to this publication in a 30-minute call, Autlwetse said he is not moved by any accusations stating that he would continue serving impartially as a minister. “What they say about me and labelling me is personal opinion, which they are entitled to.

I am not conflicted and I am only doing my job as the minister responsible for Bogosi. All those who came to me, Kgosi Mokhutshwane Sekgoma was a permanent secretary, Mma Monyena and Iphemele Kgokgothwane were senior public servants and they know protocol. I told them and repeat that the only way for them to meet with the President over the issue will be if Khama is present,” he said. Autlwetse said he was shocked to learn of the press release while he had thought he had made it clear to the delegation he met that Masisi had said he would only meet them if they come with Khama. “I made it clear to them that the President is willing and ready to meet them and Khama.

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