In an interview recently aired on Botswana's national
television station, BTV, President Ian Khama said Zim elections were neither free
nor fair.
Khama also announced that Botswana will no longer participate in any SADC election observer missions, because the leadership bloc appears to have let Zimbabwe "off the hook".
Zanu-PF politburo member and Information Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo on Monday said Khama comments are a ploy by the Botswana leader to get the European Union to extend its sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Botswana become the first Southern African nation to criticise the regional bloc's endorsement of Zimbabwe's disputed elections.
Is it not too late for Khama to challenge SADC on the issue?
