Kgosi (Chief) Khama IV, don’t be a coward!

 In 2011 you held a meeting at Mathangwane Kgotla in your then capacity as President of the Republic Botswana. At the meeting you were asked by one Damien Uwe Hobona to state how you intended to treat his grandfather Hubona Nshakazhogwe’s private land in your land audit.

Mr Damien Hobona claimed that your government, through the Tribal Administration of which you are now head, knows that his grandfather was awarded the land through a colonial British Court order following the illegal assault occasioning bodily harm that your great grandfather visited upon Hubona around the year 1914. You were with the Lands Permanent Secretary, one Thato Raphaka, who claimed not to know anything about the said land.

Now a great injustice is being done to Hubona’s descendants. The stolen land is being overpopulated with squatters; the intention being to render Hubona’s descendants a minority on their grandfather’s land, the better to kick them off the land.

So Kgosi Khama IV, don’t be a coward! Come and explain to all and sundry, what you as Bamangwato Kgosi know about the said land, given that your father, late Sir Seretse Khama was born on the said Hubona’s privately owned land.
