Ian Khama PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

Former president Ian Khama is still under investigation from the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) under which the unit is looking at offences including concealment of treason.

According to DIS in their court papers, the search and seizure that has been carried out at the former’s various plots were related to various violations. Though no charges have been brought against him yet since the search and seizure unlike his counterpart, former DIS director-general, Isaac Kgosi, should he be charged when investigations are done, these are some of the offences he might possibly face.

Khama has been accused by the DIS of threatening national security of the country especially with the alleged weapons that he has or has been alleged to be hiding in some of his properties. With regards to that, the offence the DIS alleges he has committed by having those weapons is threatening the security of Botswana by being, without lawful authority, in possession of arms and ammunition of war contrary to the provisions of Arms and Ammunition Act. Concealment of treason, the offence emitted from the former spy unit director who upon his arrest in 2019 at the airport uttered that he would ‘topple this government’. According to the DIS, this was reason enough to believe that either Khama or Kgosi had the potential to topple the government.

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