    This was pretty informative..Mpho Balopi gives me an impression that this interview he did not prepare for. He has valid valid opinions but failed to directly answer what was being asked. Good documentation though.

    The former president can not be wrong alone he was choosen. And a miltary person he works on commands yes or no bassis. So when he say do this you must do it.and for me the whole system failed even the the former former!

    Botswana is a democracy and has not changed. Time will prove this to be the case. The opposition in this country along with their supporting press want change of government and choose to create this impression that the country is in decline. This is just simply rubbish and time will prove this. Press in this country is nothing like is found anywhere else and evidence on anything they say never exists. I hope international press could base in Gabs and follow every story covered by local press, and any allegation made by the opposition, and show us where the facts are and what is the basis for any of this. Botswana has not changed in any shape or form!
