Ian Khama is a flop :: Mmegi Online

Its almost 16 months since Seretse Khama 's eldest son took office as President of Botswana on April Fool's day last year thanks to the outdated and a very undemocratic piece of legislation, automatic succession.

Automatic succession imposes handpicked individual such as Khama for the people even though he may not enjoy popular support nationally.

Automatic succession catapulted Khama to power. Ian Khama was imposed on Batswana by former president Festus Mogae who was imposed by his predessesor Sir Ketumile Masire and Ian Khama will choose and impose his brother Tshekedi who will then pave way for Anthony after 10 years. There has been a lot of excitement that Khama possesses the so-called Khama magic, which I have hitherto failed to see. I have on several occasions tried to put my ear on the ground in search of any positive developments brought by Ian. Unfortunately I can't find any.
