Now BDP creates enemy in Batawana :: Mmegi Online

MAUN: President Ian Khama’s weekend rally in Maun, may just have created another tribal enemy for the ruling party as Batawana have been left smoldering following what they considered avitriolic attack on their paramount chief.

Batawana Kgosi Tawana Moremi’s age regiment, Matsaakgang, said on Sunday they will be approaching the village leadership to ask for permission to address the tribe, following Khama’s “denegrading statements against Tawana.”
