Former Botswana President Ian Khama has denied he’s a fugitive and says he’s not running away from justice in his home country.
Khama is currently in South Africa after he fled the neighbouring country. He’s charged with the unlawful possession of firearms in Botswana.
He has since described the charges as trumped up and part of the persecution he has suffered at the hands of Botswana.
Khama maintains that all his firearms are licensed.
“This whole thing about the weapons, the weapons that I have I looked after by the intelligence service. So isn’t ridiculous that the same organisation whose personnel look after my weapons are the same ones who want to charge me for having the same weapons.”
