No plans to repatriate ba-ga-Mphoeng- Kgamane

In an interview with Mmegi, Kgamane pointed out that ba-ga-Mphoeng, mostly made up of Bangwato, have not made any formal request for their repatriation.  "We know that ba-ga-Mphoeng are Bangwato proper but they have not told us that they would like to come back. If they don't say anything, our hands are tied and we are not able to do anything," he said adding that this is a sensitive issue since it involved two sovereign countries.

Kgamane said he understands that ba-ga-Mphoeng once approached Kgosi Phokontsi Seeletso of Mmadinare on the subject of coming back to Botswana but the matter was not brought to his attention. He explained that during repatriation consultation with all stakeholders is important.
