The secrecy behind Khama�s Airstrip

Mmegi has not been able to establish critical facts around the construction of the airstrip. While the then Presidential Affairs and Public Administration Minister, Mokgweetsi Masisi had put the cost of the construction at P3million, he did not disclose the detailed account of how the amount would be spent.

Mmegi has, however, since established that the construction involves only the compacting of free gravel with free water, collected by army personnel using BDF equipment. Mmegi can disclose that the water used for the construction is freely fetched from one contaminated borehole near the village.
