Khama is as good as being on an indefinite sabbatical leave

If there is anytime when a President should be visible it is when a country is going through an economic, political, and social upheaval.  The idea is to assure the nation that  things are under control and government is as concerned as everyone else. In Botswana the president seems to think otherwise.

When John Kalafatis was brutally murdered by some sections of the security forces the country was almost pushed to the brink.  It is still a miracle how the country escaped violent riots as it was the case with the Segametsi incident.
