A deported Zimbabwean politician, Gabriel Chaibva is reported to have threatened to sue the Botswana government. However government Spokesperson Jeff Ramsay did not have any information to suggest that Chaibva was suing the Botswana government.
A Zimbabwean online publication carried the headline: “Chaibva Threatens to sue Khama”. Chaibva was thrown out of Botswana early this month after being declared a prohibited immigrant (PI) following his visit to the neighbouring country.
The former opposition legislator and top official in the Arthur Mutambara led Movement for Democratic Change faction, has threatened to sue the Botswana government after authorities there deported him early this month.
Chaibva is the former spokesperson of the faction. He is reported to have “since engaged an unidentified lawyer in Botswana to initiate proceedings against Botswana’s president Ian Khama and his government”.
“It’s just a matter of time before my lawyer serves them with the papers. I am going to get redress,” Chaibva is quoted. But he did not disclose much detail about the legal action.
Chaibva also refused to disclose the name of the lawyer and the law firm that he has engaged.
The smaller MDC faction suspended Chaibva from his position as party spokesperson after he attended ZANU PF leader Robert Mugabe’s swearing in ceremony which was boycotted by his party leaders, Arthur Mutambara and Welshman Ncube.
Ramsay added that he only read this in Zimbabwean publications and therefore he could not comment
