Sekelemani's Xenophobic Utterances Are Unfortunate

During a Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) political rally addressed by the President Ian Khama and other party members in Tsamaya village recently, the minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Phandu Sekelemani, made some disturbing statements that amount to inciting tribalism in this peaceful nation.

Sekelemani said at the rally, in reference to Member of Parliament (MP), Samson Guma Moyo, who recently decamped from the BDP to join the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD), that if he (Moyo) is tired of this country, he must board a train and go back to Zimbabwe.  Such unfortunate utterances cannot be left to go unchallenged lest they are swallowed hook, line and sinker by the uninformed.
