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.

That was a very bad move Mr President.

A true great leader of our time, he stood by Zimbabwe

[@benjiebenjie4761]

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.

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.

[@mandlenkosihlazo977]

[@Mpalapasi]

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.

Hold on, wait a minute. I hear and understand he is soft spoken and all. Guns? What type of guns are we talking about here? I understand it’s his right, but why did he have guns to the extent that it got used against him? What was the amount of guns? This guy was loved and liked by many in the region,me included.

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.

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.

Please South Africa, spare us this power monger, he had his 2 terms & should just leave.

Botswana 🇧🇼 is a country that didn't respect other neighboring, many African were killed by BDF without any apology.

[@candyhender291]

What do u mean by not respecting other neighbouring? What were those people killed for? This is not true get your facts right or relax.

[@freddiejecha8875]

Very true

[@sylvestert7490]

You can't speak against Putin like that and not equally judge the west. It shows your vain pride. Trevor you seem to be in agreement with this man and judging without hearing the other side. Is that professional especially in this day and age when most media people are captured with brown envelopes.

Khama should let go of politics... it isn't good for his own health. I also differ with him on the issue of Debeer.

[@tineshambambeva3592]

It takes a gentleman to admit his error in public for sure. I hope he is well he looks unwell its eating him daily.

[@Keith0909Maya]

He is very. He was come from the gym before the conversation

[@mulalumr-ho8qj]

Something else is bothering him..its not closing President Masisi...Botswana is oooookkkay..we are just fine...

[@LovettModisaemang]

He is living in his own world. Botswana is more peaceful without this man
