Ex-President Mogae wisely ensured that he would not be dragged into such an unpleasant crash when answering, when asked, that he had not no idea what kind of president his successor might be.
Masisi should be grateful, and behave accordingly because SE Khama had personally given him the presidency on a silver plate. For certainty though we may note that Masire personally gave the chalice on Mogae and Mogae on Khama. Change the constitutional provision and claims of this kind will never arise again. Masire and Mogae took care to give space to their respective successors
HE Khama is not, however, of this kind. It is unlikely that he will become an international peacekeeper in Congo, Somalia or South Sudan. On the other hand, he will not be placed on the periphery of national affairs, as his predecessors have been, but in the foreseeable future he will be in the middle. He is now Kgosi de facto of the Bangwato and indeed of all the Central District. Over time, he will undoubtedly become president of the Ntlo wa Dikgosi
The combination of these offices with his very important participation in the key tourism industry and his major events will ensure that he will have the power to Greatly influence government policies in the future or completely dominate the government. If he also managed to get the BDP presidency, as was recently suggested as his wish and intent, Masisi's position would become untenable. Unless this kind of development can not be avoided, we will all be in trouble and we will be very messy. Indeed, the seriousness of this situation has been demonstrated by a newspaper that recently quoted a follower of HE Khama saying that it is now an open war. Deciding who goes to war can be a matter of personal preference. But this gentleman was not the only one to speak in very similar terms. A few weeks ago, a small group of notable former BDP and government officials were happy to identify themselves as either wanting to neutralize SE Masisi at the next party conference, or to replace him. It can be badumed that we have already reached an agreement on the name of the substitute. Subsequent reports indicated that theirs was not an inactive threat. The Sunday Standard reported, for example, that "Masisi inherited a deeply criminalized government and that its attempts to decriminalize it are fiercely opposed by senior BDP officials
who fear that the net will close on them." 15.7 / 16). the observation is correct, we will have to understand either that it is this group that alone constitutes the anti Masisi campaign or that HE Khama's concerns are so closely related to this group that they are a and identical. If this is also correct, the implications are obvious and impressive. In a revealing comment, Michael Dingake suggested that SE Khama has reason to be worried because he does not know what will follow, but that he will never give up. The same Gazette refers to the interests of HE Khama but without going further to explain what that might be.
This strangely leaves us with little clarity. Yet, if there is a common problem between the protagonists, it would seem inevitable to center on MI Kgosi, his dismissal and the information that he undeniably possesses over all the key players. It would seem in everyone's interest that what he knows should never be revealed while it must be the wish of the other that everything be brought to light. In a strange twist, it seems that Mr. Kgosi is the central factor, probably a determining factor in this struggle for power. Yet this struggle can not be long and prolonged. In one way or another, it will be necessary to come to a conclusion, because it can not be in anyone's interest to continue as a purulent sore that has been flowing for a long time. It is therefore not surprising that Mr. Kgosi's file has mysteriously disappeared between the DCEC and the DPP. (Gazette 18.7.18) The file in question is a government file and the person who organized his disappearance is a government employee. This obvious but sad fact demonstrates that what is involved here goes well beyond a manageable bickering between the two big elephants. The disappearance of this extremely important file shows just how serious and damaging the divide within the public service itself is. So what comes next? HE Khama does not know and neither do we. But preparations have undoubtedly been made and positions have been established both within the government and outside. Neither of the two power blocks can now go back, so we need to realize that the outcome of their collision will determine what kind of country it will be in the short and long term.
