Custodians of the law (in the Botswana Police Service management) knowingly helped former President Mokgweetsi Masisi seek to obtain votes by false pretences – and right inside a police station. Ironically, on that same day, BPS published a “wanted” poster for a Rasesa man who had himself obtained by false pretences.
With only 16 days left before a do-or-die election for which he was pulling all the stops, Masisi headlined an event that was billed as the official opening ceremony of the refurbished Gaborone Central Police Station (CPS).
