Welcome Sir.
Former Presidents, it’s a good thing to wish each other well. Thanks
But Sir, why not visiting ECL as well?
This was the best president Botswana had not the one which is there right now.
RB is surely becoming a real African Statesman!
Why the exclamation mark? Cant an ex president meet with an ex-president?
@ JUST WAIT #3, he probably did but in privacy. Former president ECL has elected to stay away from the public limelight and former president General Kharma respects that. This is not an issue. If he didn’t visit him, there will be other times. There’s nothing wrong with that.
He does not entertain dictators , that is the reason why he did not see Mr I will handle power to someone who is me Edgar chagwa lungu yeeeeéeeeeereereeee.
