Africa Daily - What’s behind the feud between Botswana’s current and former Presidents?
Download What’s behind the feud between Botswana’s current and former Presidents?
In recent weeks, Botswana’s former president, Ian Khama, has visited Zambia, Eswatini and Zimbabwe – having meetings with presidents and kings.
Since November 2021, he’s been living in exile in South Africa – after being charged with crimes including the unlawful possession of firearms and receiving stolen property. He says the case is politically motivated.
So is he working to build up support as he fights the case? And can Botswana’s current president, President Mokgweetsi Masisi, persuade South Africa to extradite Khama for trial?
Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja)
Guests: Ian Khama and Mokaloba Mokaloba, University of Botswana.
