He is really torn apart because he has a close relationship with Khama. Bridgette, who is Ramaphosa\u2019s sister-in-law, has been with Khama throughout this entire time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the ANC national executive is divided in the matter. Some believe the ANC has no part to play in Khama\u2019s issues and that he should go back home and deal with his problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania <\/b><\/p>\n<p>According to information reaching press Ramaphosa did attempt to intervene in the matter during his tenure as Chairman of the Southern African Development Council (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence and Security but failed because he did not get the support of other member states.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania are among countries that reportedly refused to entertain Ramaphosa\u2019s inclination.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the CEO of the SKI Khama Foundation. Mogomotsi Kaboeamodimo, has told this publication that he is in no position to say whether or not Khama has engaged with Ramaphosa or any other ANC leader about the party intervening in the matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
