Khama who seem not amused with Masisi says the Presidennt's actions say so little.
'He has not followed up after i responded. It has gone quiet. Remember, actions speak louder than words' Khama said.
Khama also dismissed claims that reconciliation could mean he is returning to the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).
'I come from Serowe and he comes feom Moshupa. I would not ask him to make his home, Serowe and i would not expect him to make my hone Moshupa,' Khama said.
Quizzed on recent resignations from BPF, Khama said he had no comments about them, stating that some had shared their reasons with him while others have not.
Khama’s comments come after an explosive remark made by President Masisi at a recent rally held in Shoshong.
“It must be noted that I wish that one day I and my president Ian Khama could talk and forgive each other.m He is still my president. I supported him fully during his tenure. I do not believe in hate and today I encourage our members to desist or stop spreading hate speeches or telling untruths because it causes war amongst us.” he had said.
Khama pounced on the opportunity and issued a statement stating that he had received a number of calls and messages from people informing him about Masisi’s remarks.
“Previous attempts by others with whom I cooperated have all failed. So, in response to his public statement, let me publicly respond by saying that I have asked my brother Tshekedi Khama to return to Botswana and meet with President Masisi in order to commence the process of reconciliation in ours and the nation’s interests,” Khama wrote.
