Former President IAN KHAMA on Botswana's Political Shift

As Botswana's new government begins its work, former president IAN KHAMA, reflects on the big political changes in his country as the party of independence - his father's party - the BDP is swept away.He discusses the current state of his country, with high unemployment, low growth and a widening gap between rich and poor. He outlines possible first steps for the new UDC administration of president DUMA BOKO.The former president again acknowledges his poor judgement in appointing his successor, whom he alleges, allowed corruption to spread. MOKGWEETSI MASISI lost the election by a landslide, and should be held accountable says MR KHAMA - possibly by a judicial inquiry.In our conversation IAN KHAMA talks about his future plans as he steps away from frontline politics after 30 years at the helm.What would you like your legacy to be? I ask him. He says that's for other to decide.I can't resist the chance to play a short video that emerged recently in which we see another side of the former president!..But I begin by asking IAN KHAMA what he made of DONALD TRUMP'S re-election in the US.
