	Botswana - History and Politics
		Khama’s appointment and the subsequent granting of a“sabbatical” from 1 January 2000 to settle his traditional affairs as paramount of the BamaNgwato brought considerable criticism and speculation that he had served Mogae’s immediate purposes, by deflecting attention from some potentially dangerous internal factionalism within the BDP.
		This gives Ian Khama the power to intervene in the operations of all other ministries, which is unlikely to be accepted with good grace, and could exacerbate intra-party tensions.
		Ian Khama has made no secret of his dislike of the compromises of political life and of his disdain for politicians in general.

		In closing remarks at the congress, Khama appeared to hold out an olive branch to his political opponents by telling his followers to make peace.
		While Khama's popularity nationally has not been tested, he is the son of Botswana's first president, Sir Seretse Khama, and is the paramount chief of Bamangwato, an area covering over half the constituencies to be contested in the 2004 general election.
		Khama was catapulted from the army into the vice-presidency by Mogae in 1999 in a move reportedly aimed at quelling faction fighting within the party.

	afrika.no - Botswana: President in huff after stinging criticism
		"Ian Khama had earlier announced that he expected his younger brother, Tshekedi, to inherit his Parliamentary seat of Serowe North West — even the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretariat expressed objection to such an abrogation of democratic procedures," said Good.
		This allegedly included the appointment of Khama as vice-president even though he was not at the time a member of the national assembly, the award of an unprecedented year-long sabbatical to pursue personal issues in 2000 and a personal undertaking by Mogae to allow Khama to fly Botswana Defence Force (BDF) helicopters without consultation.
		Good observed that there had been long-standing concern over Khama's management style, including allegedly awarding tenders to family members when he was the head of the army, bypassing the tendering process.

	Mail & Guardian Online:
		He found that this practice was not only “against the spirit” of the Public Service Act, but that it also “gives the perception that such public officers are furthering the interests of the ruling party” and recommended that Mogae “issue a new directive to all public officers” in the light of these concerns.
		Seretse Khama, we are told by his biographers, had “never been really happy” in the rough-and-tumble of constituency politics and parliamentary debate, so the Constitution was changed, as early as October 1972, to accommodate the indirect election of the president.
		The actions of Khama are autocratic and prone to order-giving, rather than debate and argument, the stuff of democracy.
