“The allegations that he pledged R22m [alone] to any political party or persons, or that he was involved in or was party to smuggling money into Botswana are absolutely false.”
Motsepe’s lawyers went to Botswana this week to initiate legal processes against the publication which he is suing for R6.7m for defamation. “These false and defamatory allegations gave rise to the legal action that was recently initiated in Botswana. We do not want to get involved, and have no interests, in the politics of Botswana or the development of any political party.”The newspaper alleged that Khama met with Motsepe and his sister at the OR Tambo International Airport where the donation was facilitated.
Motsepe confirmed having a “brief” meeting with Khama at the OR Tambo International Airport but denied any malice. Motsepe’s sister Bridgette was, at the climax of the allegations, banned from entering Botswana visa-free in April.
