        This is why @Iankhama is my forever President bae. He knows when to let go of power. His parents had an incredible love story despite opposition & he's a single/ unmarried president.

        It isn't a train crash if u have been a clean president. If u have been engaged in the types of criminal activities that must African leaders do, then leaving office can be seen to them as a complete 'train crash'. Mr president, you have been a role model, enjoy Mo Ibrahim award.

        Absolutely right, president Botswana's Ian Khama will definitely be the next recipient of the @Mo_IbrahimFdn award and if I ere a betting person, I will bet on the next one after that going to @NAkufoAddo.https://bbc.in/2IZ1C80

        Sometime it’s not merely WHEN you leave but HOW you leave what you found and was tasked with for leadership and guidance.

        You obviously don't read on Botswana. Google Botswana newspapers and see the extent of the rot and corruption under Ian Khama's government. Spare us these uninformed views. Mxm!

        I have been following the @BWGovernment twitter page for some time, and it has always struck me just how dignified their system is... no pomp no circumstance, just get on with the business of running a country for all. Wish I could say the same about my government.
