In Botswana we live harmoniously with our neighbours Zimbabwe, we no longer harass, in prison them, arrest them and then take them by busses to Zimbabwe under the presidency of MEK Masisi.
I remember vividly that Khama used to be mean about & to Zimbabwe during Mugabe's tenure. He thought Botswana was not in Africa. Welcome to Africa Khama. Now you're in S Africa Africa becz? I do not feel sorry for him .
Maaka, lies. Member of parliament are routinely arrested with no charges. Anyone who is a perceived to be political threat to Masisi can be put behind bars for no reason, yet cowards like you will justify it
Would you make some attempts to bring President Masisi on the show to hear his side of the story, that will surely give us a well balanced overview on what is going on between them. Thanks Trevor for quality content always.
You have more chance of interviewing Jesus before getting that clown to sit with Trevor. This man has ten years under his belt backing up his commitment to democracy and running a sound economy. So this statement saying you need to get the other guy in for a balanced view is nothing but a Zimbabwean way of thinking. A good man once said - Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid
At the time Khama left office he had already been displaying significant reluctance to leave office. He also harbored the hope that he would remain the power behind the throne. The person who chose Khama as a compromise candidate to takeover the presidency, H.E. Mogae, has previously expressed extreme regret at choosing him in the first place 🤷
An excellent conversation as usual. l enjoyed all questions asked by Trevor and responses given by former President Khama. All the best to Botswana and its lovely people. Hoping for quick and peaceful resolution of all the issues raised in this conversation
With due respect I am Motswana I love all my presidents, you media people if you keep on interviewing one or two people not Batswana you are not doing us any good you better stop!!!
Well done Trevor for " going beyond borders" . A breath of fresh air . Keeping doing that and broaden our regional knowledge. Great interview. Khama is the G OAT we love him here in Zimbabwe
I just love the humbleness in this man Sir Seretse Ian Khama. So humble you can't even believe he was once a President. May peace reign between the two leaders. @ Trevor, thank you for a wonderful conversation.
We love our current PRESIDENT,and he is the best we ever had.Khama thinks we stil in Berlin era, no one is above the law. He should come and account for things that happened under his leadership
What are u saying ..are u even a motswana ..mxm u are here advocating for increased tariffs and corruption Thats very criminal of u U can't feel the pain we are feeling now
I respect President Ian Khama and the way he continues to speak frankly about democracy not only in his country but also in the neighbouring countries. He is a rare breed of African leaders. Most African leaders are willing to sacrifice the truth for their convenience.
Respect is earned your integrity if brought into check normally gets blown out the water pres ik has allways maintained a very high standard of both admirable an icon a perso young leaders can aspire and look up to.
sad part during his time there was no freedom,u say anythn u wud meet ur ancestors..Yet he cud publicly call out R Mugabe..we r so happy n free ever since he decided he is too fragile to face the consequences of his administration
Ian is a victim of his superiority complex. This is a man who didn't want to be interviewed by private media in Botswana when he was president because he was too good for them, so he thought. He even went to the extent of banning government advertising in private media. So, talk about democratic credentials and sickining hypocrisy. It,s hilarious that he can sit in a foreign country and spout, endlessly, how Masisi has suddenly turned into a " disease" after working with him for so many years. This fall out,between the two, initial worried some people, but it's largely ignored now. If Ian left the country because he is afraid of being poisoned , does he think he is safe in South Africa? As usual, Ian thinks he is too superior to be tried in Botswana in a court of law for his guns. And what does he need so many guns for anyway? Listen to him talk about how he is going to lead opposition parties in Botswana for 2024 elections. This is self appointment, and thinks everyone is a child who should do as he says. He is out of touch with what is happening in Botswana opposition politics. If you peel off the layers, you see a man whose ego is deeply wounded and is trying to use opposition politicians to fight what is essentially a ruling party turf war. You can't run a political campaign on Masisi as the only issue and think you can win a general election. He keeps on saying we Batswana this, Batswana that. How many Batswana are you speaking for? If we go by the last general election, he is speaking for a minority. His political party has got only three seats in parliament in his tribal area. He is delusional when he says he is going to lead opposition parties in next year's general election. He doesn't hold much clout in Botswana politics anymore ,the last general election has shown. He can make all the noise he wants in a foreign country but it's not going to affect the outcome of the next general election. He should not try and claim credit if Masisi loses. The law wants him to come and stand trial for his guns. The country has also recently learnt that a company run by his brothers has supplied Botswana defence force with defective army equipment and broken down vehicles, from the exclusive tenders they enjoyed for so many years to supply BDF with weapons. Masisi has stopped that corruption. Ian talks about Debeers company as if it's a holy cow that should not be negotiated with. Masisi is the president and should be allowed to negotiate the way he sees fit. He is " human , if he makes a mistake", isn't he? Ian is a messiah with clay feet and he is not going to walk on water as he would like some people to believe.
im sure Trevor gave a good interview, but i cant listen to this hypocrite Ian anylonger!( stopped at10mins), to continue listening would be to give his words life.., plus its a total waste of my hard earned leisure time!
Masisi is a bad leader period...he uses the DIS for political persecutions...accept it...crisis after crisis...there's no medications in hospitals...your problem is that you're brainwashed.
I enjoyed reading this comment...n I hardly finish lengthy comments. This man is a definition hypocrisy.u hv said it all. A dictator who mastered how to potray a good image to the foolish and those who don't know him
Respect Respect HE President Ian Khama! Rescue Botswana we Zimbabweans survival depends on clear thinking Africans like you . The truth the righteous shall prevail!
Unfortunately you are only getting one side of the story. I wish the interviewer would invite other guests who can shed light on other sides so you can get a better view.
Is it not rather telling…. addressing a sitting Head of State as, this man, a disease, Masisi… One wonders how much homework Trevor did before this conversation…… For example, The Former H.E, meddled with the Judiciary, interesting that he mentioned having people in the judiciary telling the outcome of judgements in advance…. More homework is required Mr Ncube.
Khama and his family think Botswana belongs to them. He had his time and he still wanted to be the power beyond the throne. Masisi knew that for him to grow he had to remove this over bearing man. Khama literally just complained for an hour and poor Trevor had to listen to that and probably had to give the old man a hug after. Pitiful really.
Wish The Two Great Leaders of Botswana find each other as we love you all. Every Southern African Leader has a role to play in building Southern Africa irrespective of their differences.
Very rich content ,I wish you would extend time limit to 2hours and broadcast twice a week . Now I have to wait for another week , but thanks Travour .
Trevor was paid to ask him such shallow questions. Come to Botswana and get it from us Batswana. This man and his family were corrupt and entitled to the resources of Botswana and Batswana. President Masisi saved us by getting rid of them. He talks about corruption when his middle name is corruption. He must stay in exile. We suffered under him for years. We feared his DIS, and freedom of speech was non-existent during his term. He must sit down and enjoy his money.
Don't say us, but you! Who are you to speak for 2 million people plus? Every leader has his or her weaknesses including president Masisi. This does not mean it is an insult to speak about their strengths. Not everything is about money, were you paid to write this comment in favour of HE Masisi. Well done Trevor.
Honestly mukoma Trevor the guy talks nonsense about Putin and criticises Masisi renegotiating unfair agreement with DeBeers and you don't probe further. Don't you know reasons for war in Ukraine and plundering of resources by the minority and more often than not unjustifiable and destructive sanctions for economies which challenges status quo.
Very insightful interview and informative, helpful also hilarious at the same time. Speak like an Angel but deep inside.. I'm Motswana from Republic of Botswana, this interview makes me proud to be Motswana. 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 Botswana Approves💯💯💯💯💯
Hi Trevor, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and love the work you do. I feel you did a lot of listening though in this interview and didn't probe Ian Khama enough. I therefore felt it wasn't as balanced. This does not take away that fact that you got him to speak of his side of the story which we the audience appreciate.
If only Zimbabwe would be so lucky. This man is a humble intelligent true son of the soil. All the developing issues he mentioned in Botswana are the exact issues that have gripped Zimbabwe and are sinking it into the pitts. This man has had the courage and strength in character to speak out when it wasn’t popular. May God bless him and good luck.
Now it's very clear that Ian Khama played a very big role for this new party to win the elections in Botswana and to become a new government in Botswana, he is the really man who played a very big role to have a new government in Botswana !
Some Luke warm questioning. The man is a xenophobe of note ask any expat in BW. Interesting how his sympathisers are almost exclusively from his tribe or are far removed from his reign. Same day Masisi took over you could almost taste the relief in the air. No wonder Mogae thinks he’s unhinged In his defence everything seems like a vendetta because for the first time in his life his entitlement was challenged.
so how come Masisi lost miserably? Khama as president was for the Batswana. As president his priority is to give jobs to his people. why are you in Botswana, why can't your own country give you a job
Hey trover the problem here is he wanted my President masisi to elect his brother as a vice President. That's where the problem came.just trace where its started you will prove me wrong
This leader knows why bots was so succesfull this man stood firm he stood up for the people his people love him listen to this man he is no ones fool a donkey cannot do the work of a mule its how things work
Thank you very much everybody, mark my words . Today we are drinking oil, mind you tomorrow we shall be drinking mud . At least I have told you people my parable
Jus looking at SKI it really breaks my heart seeing how they are treating this man.I like ths man despite whatever they are accusing him.Masisi it's high time u make peace n I knw Batswana pipo are proud of u two.U are a very peaceful country in our continent plz qolelanani in watever th conflict z n move on ....# PEAC
@@candyhender291 he is a politician, you think he will win an election and on the same day hand over power to someone else, really?? Smell the coffee, the guy wants power back and his language says it all. He is bitter and wants a revenge.
What goes around comes around i remember SKI chased Kgosi kgolo ya Bakgatla Kgafela frm th country whn he was in charge now its his time to feel da heat, no one is above th law
The only Leader who spoke up against Mugabe and left power out of his own accord. Batswana dont know how blessed they are. I hope they never come across a dictator.
When he became president, I was in Botswana. He put restrictions on the times alcohol can be sold. He was strong and strict and very patriotic. He was not corrupt
@Tuto Tutot how many soldiers? What were their ranks ? If they became millionaires in legal ways would that be an issue? Are you alleging illegality, and if so can you prove such?
@@thetad1242 i will go on and tell you their uneducated brothers were the main contractors for the military tenders when he headed the Botswana defence force.....i dont have to prove anything do the research....i am a pure born and bred Motswana and he is my chief as a Mongwato. so i know how spoilt he is, it started with our parents...he is a cry baby who is not used to not having power. he has had power since youth despite being failure at school so this is new to him....he has been betrayed by the person he instilled on us, Masisi was nothing to us but they threatened everyone in the party who didnt vote for him for the chairmanship.
i guess u were in Botswana jus passing by .u really don't know this man..funny how after his presidency he running to the same media that he had no time for& terrorised even detaining journos
This is very one sided and therefore doesn't allow for one to fully appreciate and make a well rounded conclusion. A case of old friends turned foes for reasons best known to them. Their differences and feud that has turned public is not doing our beloved Botswana any good. Very sad
It's only fair to give president Masisi the platform to respond to such allegations. President Masisi is doing well. Former president is not telling the truth and he knows it. We are fine with Masisi...
Thax Trever. I ve stayed in Botswana for 10 year. President Ian when in power and completely changed Botswana for good. His 100 days in power all roads were widened, there was 2 roads they called main mall ,I respect this man.
The BIG question who is sponsoring you Trevor and your channel.... Actually your state of being is under examination... anyway the conversation is okay ... A room for investigative journalism
Love President Ian Khama, greatest African President. Great discussion. So sad to hear this as Botswana is my mother’s homeland. Stay strong President Khama I believe the Twana people will support you and your cause for the future of the Botswana people to rid your beautiful country with the Rot of greed and corruption I know all to well here in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. You are in my thoughts and prayers ❤
Yes indeed let us have both sides of the coin. Bring rhe other party to the story and let us hear what he says.This issue should be resolved once and for all and an amicable solution obtained betwwen the incumbent and his predecessor. Botswanais a peaceful country in a politically turbulent region. Let our neighbours be chmark ln us
They was a time this man used to think that he was the best president in Africa. He started attacking other African presidents to the point his government was giving military training to a group of Zimbabweans so that they can go and remove with the help of western countries Mugabe . That was a very bad move Mr President.
I know what happened. I was trained in Botswana to overthrow the Mugabe regime. I know what I'm talking about. If you want more proof 🧾🧾🧾 please let me know.
Trevor you seem to sympathies with the former president the questions you are asking are too friendly and does not do justice to expose the power hungry former president who wants to use politics to protect himself rather than the courts. He knows that he is guilty
Here is a truthful observation on the politics in Botswana without offending anyone iam politically neutral,yet i want amicable resolutions to this great nation. The Khama issue has shaken our country ever since it started,the politics involved does not put it in realisation that Khama has a great following to contain,if he arrives today,watch the news on his arrival,Botswana will be in a stand still thus a fact we cant change it,he is loved,only a few here will try hard to send a wrong narrative.Iam try to give a clear picture and its true,now the only way foward is an amicable resolution to this problem than all the fighting doing this in respect also on the current leadership we also value and respect.Differences are there in politics but let us not forget the blue black and white flag a country we luv so much at the same time let us all realise and honour the current leadership.
Kudakwashe why are the zimbo mazai-zai in South Africa instead of Botswana, You claim mbeki sold you to Mugabe and Khama stood by you. Zimbos ought to have gone to botswana and not the RSA.Khama was the pres during the mbeki era & would have welcomed you. Why did you choose "xenophobic" Mzantsi. Doesn't make sense.
He had been a good leader in the army, then he thought he was a messiah. According to him the world revolves around him. Ian has never had to listen to anyone. He is self centered. What a pity. He has a strong sense of self entitlement and thinks the country belongs to his father and his family. Anyone who opposed government was unpatriotic. When he left he came with all sorts of conditions. When he was unhappy, he became like a small child and left home. He had his time s president. What's his gripe? Sick and spoilt rotten!
Interesting what Khama says about standing or contesting for the position of Botswana president in 2024, however, on the other hand he is categorical that he is not going to assume state power if he wins. Is he telling the truth? What is saying is highly unlikely and I wonder why his advisors let him go public with such a statement. He speaks of the erosion of democracy, botho, economy etc, how does he want to fix this if he is not going to be the state president if he wins? This was an excellent interview, the president was as eloquent as ever and in my assessment he has what it takes to win against Masisi. My worry is that Masisi will not allow him to be on the ballot box. Also he will make his campaign to be very difficult
The constitution does not allow him to stand for Presidency even if he stands with a different party. It's not possible for him to stand again. His time has passed.

Khama ruled Botswana in one of the best. Masisi is a Dictator.
Trevor questions are already based and I suspect the interview is staged. Careful Trevor for ur reputation
In Botswana we live harmoniously with our neighbours Zimbabwe, we no longer harass, in prison them, arrest them and then take them by busses to Zimbabwe under the presidency of MEK Masisi.
AO ora gore ma zim are no longer being deported even if they dont have documentation?
Viva Great Mother Africa
Illegal immigrants are a problem.
Khama u preached and harassed Mugabe. Learn to accept that u are no longer in office, let the current President rule until his time is gone too.
I remember vividly that Khama used to be mean about & to Zimbabwe during Mugabe's tenure. He thought Botswana was not in Africa. Welcome to Africa Khama. Now you're in S Africa Africa becz? I do not feel sorry for him .
In Botswana we are a free nation, we speak openly, not afraid of DIS but during my former presidency this was not easy ask Batswana.
True
Maaka, lies. Member of parliament are routinely arrested with no charges. Anyone who is a perceived to be political threat to Masisi can be put behind bars for no reason, yet cowards like you will justify it
True 100% , we are more free an when Khama was president
U can just say that again
Would you make some attempts to bring President Masisi on the show to hear his side of the story, that will surely give us a well balanced overview on what is going on between them. Thanks Trevor for quality content always.
Absolutely

Do you think a sitting president will sit at a podcast for a tit for tat.
@@thetad1242 Why not?? You are funny.
BW is free after the departure of that man, Ian was a pain to Batswana
yes to the drunkards and the lazy and indisciplined who never want to work.
Very true, we happier than when he was president
😅
😅
A whole dictator this man we will never forgets...n little did we know that Masisi pocess similar traits
At the time Khama left office he had already been displaying significant reluctance to leave office. He also harbored the hope that he would remain the power behind the throne. The person who chose Khama as a compromise candidate to takeover the presidency, H.E. Mogae, has previously expressed extreme regret at choosing him in the first place 🤷
Khama left the presidency with no problem, even if don’t like the man , don’t tell lies.
As a Zim national residing in Botswana , I feel this Interview was very single sided….expected better from Trevor
True
Agree with you
Maybe he has to conduct another interview with President Masisi.
Go back to Zimbabwe, letebele ke wena
@@kabzaifyijoooo....🤣🥺🚮
Khama should also be reminded that former president Mogae regret chosing him as his vice president.
😅😅😅... Now Trevor you interview Mr Mogae and ask him why he said that. So that the whole world can hear it. Do it Mr Ncube.. Don't be one sided.. 😳😳
😅
@😅boitumelomalale5355
An excellent conversation as usual. l enjoyed all questions asked by Trevor and responses given by former President Khama. All the best to Botswana and its lovely people. Hoping for quick and peaceful resolution of all the issues raised in this conversation
With due respect I am Motswana I love all my presidents, you media people if you keep on interviewing one or two people not Batswana you are not doing us any good you better stop!!!
What is the truth. Tell us
1 or 2 pple not Motswana ??? Is Khama not Mostwana?? Be clear
What is the difference between motswana batstwana and Botswana?
@@JesusisLord78,
Motswana(One citizen), Batswana(More than one citizen),
Botswana(Name of the country).
I am a South African man, and Botswana is just fine, this Ian Khama needs to come back here and answer for the crimes he is accused of.
Exactly. He must stop hallucinations
Our courts have recently declared that he is not a fugitive. He has proven to be correct, maybe the problem for some people is the skin colour.
Very true brother
I cherish the manner in which this journalist asks questions - respectful and inquisitive though.
Thank you Trevor for this insightful conversation with the former President,
Well done Trevor for " going beyond borders" . A breath of fresh air . Keeping doing that and broaden our regional knowledge. Great interview. Khama is the G OAT we love him here in Zimbabwe
Take him to Zimbabwe then

stop commenting when you are informed. He brought AFRICOM at our doorsteps

True legend and respect to H.E Ian Khama
Absolutely
We ar praying for Yr peace, may God bless you 🙏
Some Luke warm questioning. The man is a xenophobe of note ask any expat in BW. Interesting how his sympathisers are almost exclusively from his tribe or are far removed from his reign.
Same day Masisi took over you could almost taste the relief in the air.
No wonder Mogae thinks he’s unhinged
In his defence everything seems like a vendetta because for the first time in his life his entitlement was challenged.
They have no idea how cruel this guy is…
He is/was a Neocol
@@AugustineChad,None whatsoever.They don't know him like we do.We the citizens can tell a much better story.
so how come Masisi lost miserably? Khama as president was for the Batswana. As president his priority is to give jobs to his people. why are you in Botswana, why can't your own country give you a job
Thanks Trevor, urichibaba
It a shame as Africans we are not tolerant 😢
True my chief
Well pray for you God bless you amen
Hey trover the problem here is he wanted my President masisi to elect his brother as a vice President. That's where the problem came.just trace where its started you will prove me wrong
This leader knows why bots was so succesfull this man stood firm he stood up for the people his people love him listen to this man he is no ones fool a donkey cannot do the work of a mule its how things work
true his people not Batswana 🤞
People like commenting on things they don't know
You don't know anything
You don't know it all
Thank you very much everybody, mark my words . Today we are drinking oil, mind you tomorrow we shall be drinking mud . At least I have told you people my parable
Trevor Ncube MUST give Masisi the right of reply or right of correction for viewers to make up their minds.
Haha doubt you can get a whole state president on this show. Happy to be proved wrong though and hopefully TN can pull it off
One of the few great minds to ever lead Africa, blessed to have had him in Southern Africa.
Jus looking at SKI it really breaks my heart seeing how they are treating this man.I like ths man despite whatever they are accusing him.Masisi it's high time u make peace n I knw Batswana pipo are proud of u two.U are a very peaceful country in our continent plz qolelanani in watever th conflict z n move on ....# PEAC
Ask him how many interviews did he have with local media during his time = zero.
Siyabonga
As much as I liked the guy I think it's not a good idea for him to lead Botswana again. The guy is bitter. Ian please stay away from politics.
Unseat the disease
😂😂😂😂😂
He did not say he wants to lead BW again listen to him.
@@candyhender291 he is a politician, you think he will win an election and on the same day hand over power to someone else, really?? Smell the coffee, the guy wants power back and his language says it all. He is bitter and wants a revenge.
What goes around comes around i remember SKI chased Kgosi kgolo ya Bakgatla Kgafela frm th country whn he was in charge now its his time to feel da heat, no one is above th law
It takes a gentleman to admit his error in public for sure. I hope he is well he looks unwell its eating him daily.
He is very. He was come from the gym before the conversation
Something else is bothering him..its not closing President Masisi...Botswana is oooookkkay..we are just fine...
Ian's weakness is that he reinforces or rewards bootlickers. He hates straight and honest talk and only listens to what he wants to hear.
The only Leader who spoke up against Mugabe and left power out of his own accord. Batswana dont know how blessed they are. I hope they never come across a dictator.
Presidential term is entrenched in the constitution of Botswana; the president only serves two terms, he time was up.
He was the dictator.
Trevor go and research more about the former please do that
He knows its all about money babe
BROWN envelope
If he is that pure why run away?like really ijaaaaaaakg
You can tell he is troubled and emotionally in pain...God bless him..
When he became president, I was in Botswana. He put restrictions on the times alcohol can be sold. He was strong and strict and very patriotic. He was not corrupt
it was just a coincidence that soldiers became millionairs owning planes i guess
@Tuto Tutot how many soldiers? What were their ranks ? If they became millionaires in legal ways would that be an issue? Are you alleging illegality, and if so can you prove such?
@@thetad1242 i will go on and tell you their uneducated brothers were the main contractors for the military tenders when he headed the Botswana defence force.....i dont have to prove anything do the research....i am a pure born and bred Motswana and he is my chief as a Mongwato. so i know how spoilt he is, it started with our parents...he is a cry baby who is not used to not having power. he has had power since youth despite being failure at school so this is new to him....he has been betrayed by the person he instilled on us, Masisi was nothing to us but they threatened everyone in the party who didnt vote for him for the chairmanship.
You don't know him obviously. Ask batswana
i guess u were in Botswana jus passing by .u really don't know this man..funny how after his presidency he running to the same media that he had no time for& terrorised even detaining journos
This is very one sided and therefore doesn't allow for one to fully appreciate and make a well rounded conclusion. A case of old friends turned foes for reasons best known to them.
Their differences and feud that has turned public is not doing our beloved Botswana any good.
Very sad
After Masisi''s defeat, the 2023 interview was relevant and prophesy for 2024 election
Khama needs help 😂😂😂😂
What help?
nop
Very true. Very delusional
He is living in his own world. Botswana is more peaceful without this man
thank u for this informative
I thought this was Trevor Noah. Nice one
You must interview masisi to balance this
"This man" aka His Excellency The President of the Republic of Botswana Eric Keabetswe Masisi. At least give the office the respect it deserves.
It's only fair to give president Masisi the platform to respond to such allegations. President Masisi is doing well. Former president is not telling the truth and he knows it. We are fine with Masisi...
Thax Trever. I ve stayed in Botswana for 10 year. President Ian when in power and completely changed Botswana for good. His 100 days in power all roads were widened, there was 2 roads they called main mall ,I respect this man.
You are lying all roads widened in 100 days?
I have lived here all my life, and you are lying
Lies. Which roads are you talking about. Are you sure of what you're talking about?
The main mall is the name of a shopping centre.There is no road by that name in that vicinity.
Batho ba maaka! Ask if you don't know
This is it Trevor!
Thank you Mazila
It's a problem when there's judges for Masisi and for Khama
The BIG question who is sponsoring you Trevor and your channel.... Actually your state of being is under examination... anyway the conversation is okay ... A room for investigative journalism
Love President Ian Khama, greatest African President. Great discussion. So sad to hear this as Botswana is my mother’s homeland. Stay strong President Khama I believe the Twana people will support you and your cause for the future of the Botswana people to rid your beautiful country with the Rot of greed and corruption I know all to well here in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. You are in my thoughts and prayers ❤
Yes indeed let us have both sides of the coin. Bring rhe other party to the story and let us hear what he says.This issue should be resolved once and for all and an amicable solution obtained betwwen the incumbent and his predecessor. Botswanais a peaceful country in a politically turbulent region. Let our neighbours be chmark ln us
Comments from Present KhM of Botswana
They was a time this man used to think that he was the best president in Africa. He started attacking other African presidents to the point his government was giving military training to a group of Zimbabweans so that they can go and remove with the help of western countries Mugabe . That was a very bad move Mr President.
Calvin Botswana never trained the Zimbabweans. You should look for information of what transpired pertaining to the claims.
I know what happened. I was trained in Botswana to overthrow the Mugabe regime. I know what I'm talking about. If you want more proof 🧾🧾🧾 please let me know.
I have no doubt Tautona Rre Mangope wouldn't hesitate to help Pres. Khama were he still alive, our brethren need help.
Good guy, I like him.
Trevor you seem to sympathies with the former president the questions you are asking are too friendly and does not do justice to expose the power hungry former president who wants to use politics to protect himself rather than the courts. He knows that he is guilty
What is he guilty of???
I respect all my guests.
@@Keith0909Maya Sympathise, not respect. He didn't accuse you of disrespecting anyone.
Samuel you are not running the show we all know whats happening
Murakashi
A true great leader of our time, he stood by Zimbabwe
Here is a truthful observation on the politics in Botswana without offending anyone iam politically neutral,yet i want amicable resolutions to this great nation.
The Khama issue has shaken our country ever since it started,the politics involved does not put it in realisation that Khama has a great following to contain,if he arrives today,watch the news on his arrival,Botswana will be in a stand still thus a fact we cant change it,he is loved,only a few here will try hard to send a wrong narrative.Iam try to give a clear picture and its true,now the only way foward is an amicable resolution to this problem than all the fighting doing this in respect also on the current leadership we also value and respect.Differences are there in politics but let us not forget the blue black and white flag a country we luv so much at the same time let us all realise and honour the current leadership.
Zimbos 😂😂😂
Zimbos were beaten nemboma under his leadership
He did without fear or favour.
Kudakwashe why are the zimbo mazai-zai in South Africa instead of Botswana, You claim mbeki sold you to Mugabe and Khama stood by you. Zimbos ought to have gone to botswana and not the RSA.Khama was the pres during the mbeki era & would have welcomed you. Why did you choose "xenophobic" Mzantsi. Doesn't make sense.
@@tkamashuro6576 Facts I don't understand how he "stood" with us
He had been a good leader in the army, then he thought he was a messiah. According to him the world revolves around him.
Ian has never had to listen to anyone. He is self centered.
What a pity. He has a strong sense of self entitlement and thinks the country belongs to his father and his family.
Anyone who opposed government was unpatriotic. When he left he came with all sorts of conditions. When he was unhappy, he became like a small child and left home.
He had his time s president. What's his gripe?
Sick and spoilt rotten!
My advice to you guys make no mistake to attack general , he is covered with , a strong military cure
Interesting what Khama says about standing or contesting for the position of Botswana president in 2024, however, on the other hand he is categorical that he is not going to assume state power if he wins. Is he telling the truth? What is saying is highly unlikely and I wonder why his advisors let him go public with such a statement. He speaks of the erosion of democracy, botho, economy etc, how does he want to fix this if he is not going to be the state president if he wins? This was an excellent interview, the president was as eloquent as ever and in my assessment he has what it takes to win against Masisi. My worry is that Masisi will not allow him to be on the ballot box. Also he will make his campaign to be very difficult
The constitution does not allow him to stand for Presidency even if he stands with a different party. It's not possible for him to stand again. His time has passed.
Thank you Jonathan for shedding light. So how is he going to remove Masisi? Why is he contesting to be his party’s president?
@@matabelelandbroadcastingcorpor Word on the streets is he wants to establish a monarchy.
