		Mogae exhibió también no pocas dosis de paciencia y cautela en el conflicto de Caprivi, que, si bien ha tenido una entidad incomparablemente menor que la gran guerra congoleña, sí ha producido un impacto directo en Botswana en términos de inestabilidad fronteriza y de afluencia de refugiados.

		Mogae y las autoridades botswanas han afrontado esta crisis con energía y realismo, no perdiendo el tiempo, como ha sido el caso de otros dirigentes africanos, en elaborar peregrinas teorías sobre el origen de la enfermedad o estrategias sanitarias condicionadas por prejuicios culturales.
