Term extension: Someone must learn something

THE most stable country in the region has said what no other southern African leader would dare to.

Botswana leader Duma Boko, who took over from Mokgweetsi Masisi last November as the sixth President of the southern African nation, has taken the lead in rebuking leaders who don’t want to leave power when the time comes.

“I will say to you today that any president of any country who wants to be president for more than 10 years, anybody who has that ambition, is instantly a failure,” Boko said while launching a housing project in Gaborone on Wednesday.
