MANTASHE CALLS OUT IAN KHAMA

*SA Minister says Khama is a rebel
*Khama currently 'hiding' in SA
*He has charges pending in Botswana
*There is a rift between him and President Masisi

Gwede Mantashe:
"Former Presidents are not Presidents. If a former President decides to tarnish a country and its reputation, it is a deliberate decision. That President has taken a decision to hurt the country. It would appear a current trend in Africa for former Presidents to be a thorn in the flesh of those in power. We see it here in South Africa, we see it next door, Botswana. The sooner these chaps realise they are only former Presidents the better. People must be happy to have been given the chance to rule and retire in peace, not in pieces. What more do people want?

You cannot institutionalise corruption in your country, benefit from it while in office, and then turn around to be in opposition to a corrective regime. Can our African brothers please just rest. In Central African Republic, the former President there leads a rebel group. We do not want that next door or here."

Moshaga advises Kanye youths to choose role models wisely Local based personal branding consultant and public speaker, Pako Moshaga, has challenged Kanye youths to be highly selective when picking role models. Speaking at the first Annual networking seminar program held at Savanna lodge in Kanye on Saturday, Moshaga implored the youths to have powerful role models who can influence them develop professionally and help them build a positive business brand. He also advised them to live by excellence as living by excellence helps people to positively define themselves in various fields of work and not miss out on possible opportunities. The brand consultant remains to be the best in his field through reviewing his talks basing on the works of South African business moghul Vusi Thembekwayo. According to Moshaga, a powerful role model can help in transforming an individual. "Role models may negatively or positively affect those who idolize them,therefore powerful ones may positively add to your life," he said. He also advised the youth to be aware of negative talk, citing that it shall not deter them from persuing their dream. Another speaker at the youth empowerment program, Southern District Council (SDC) Chairman and Councilor for Mafhikana ward, Thamasanqa Chabalala encouraged the youths to invest in themselves so that they remain relevant for opportunities. "Do not get too comfortable in where you are, prepare yourself for strong competitors out there, develop your mind through reading a lot or taking yourself to school," advised Chabalala. On his part, the event organiser, youthful Omaatla Leepo added that while many people believe in the power of using connections to climb the corporate ladder, she begs to differ with them on the basis that she believes knowledge is as important and can unlock more better opportunities than connections. -END- #FollowUsForMoreDetails #TheNewTimesBotswana #BotswanasUltimateNewsPlug
