Ntuane U-turn bad omen - Opposition chiefs

Ntuane made headlines when he openly declared his support for bar owners taking government to court over the new liquor law. His solidarity with bar owners and all those opposed to the new laws seemed to have been short-lived following a retraction statement he issued this week.

In his initial statement, Ntuane was quoted in one of the local newspapers criticising the implementation of the laws and stating that Botswana was turning into a fundamentalist state. He further said that very soon people would be told when to sleep and what music to listen to. This it is understood did not go down well with party President Ian Khama.
