The Leader of the Opposition, Botsalo Ntuane has reacted to the delivery by saying that the remarks are a cause for alarm and concern if accurate. He said Masire is free to embark on a goodwill visit to Zimbabwe to develop close ties between the two armies but making political statements is a no-go area.
"Any issues with political connotations are a no-go area. I just hope he was misquoted," Ntuane said.
