Botswana President Masisi extends olive branch to predecessor Khama

Former Botswana President Ian Khama says he is still waiting for formal communication from President Mokgweetsi Masisi. This is after Masisi told members of his Botswana Democratic Party that he is willing to talk to his predecessor. Khama, who is in South Africa, left Botswana in 2021 after falling out with Masisi.

It is for the best of Batswana for the former and the incumbent to smoke a peace pipe. I pray for peace, truth, and reconciliation of the two political maestros of our motherland, one and only Botswana. For those who are fueling this feud, please keep quiet for a while and let the spirit of forgiveness prevail. We love them without rest; they are our leaders, and we cannot run from that.

Dear President Massisi and President Khama I deem it most befitting to write to both of you simultaneously. My name is Unite Ekandjo and I am a Namibian. Please find peace and come together as one. It is your unity that we dream of to see,feel and hear. Denounce all vindications and come together, our leaders. Help each other live even more happily. We are simple dots into the massive sea of a civilian multitude. And as materially empoverished as have ever been here in Africa, we still find peace and contentment when our leaders have peace and interact one to another. We do not demand for more beside peace and harmony when these type scuffles come to be. President Massisi: extend a hand of apologetic brotherhood to your brother genuinely...President Ian Khama: Extend a hand of apology acceptance to your brother genuinely should there be one tendered. We need and love both of you in a peaceful state and not in a state of interpersonal grudges an inco-operation. Peace be with you great men of Africa. Affectionately yours U. Ekandjo Namibia

Pass the same message to your crook of a leader, that Ramaphosa

[@chesterphiri7523]

@Baone Mogomotsi even Ramaphosa if he sows seeds of discord that is exactly what he is gonna harvest that is the law of nature. Zuma mistreated Mbeki as soon as he got elected the President of the Party the same thing came to him when Ramaphosa came to power. Those who help you to ascend to the Throne are not the ones that earn you get there then you start biting. So whoever does it must expect the wheel to turn be it Masisi, Ramaphosa or any president in Africa.

He is probably concerned that you will ensure that he loses the forthcoming elections and has probably been advised to reach out. What happens after he wins said elections is a different issue. I really would like us to talk, Mr. Khama.

I dont know why these african politicians cannot be like south african politicians,where one dies not have to be exiled just because of disagreements. Ours remain here, they must learn tolerance from SAns.We can akways ve hosting their leaders everytime they disagree. We did it for Madagadcar,Ravalomanana vs Rajoelina, Mnangwaga vs Mugabe of Zim, Lesotho's Tom Thabane, Botswana's Khama vs the incumbent, why is it only SA who too has political turmoil but still afford to live in cordial space with one another,these politicak exiles are living off SA taxpayers.
