BUSINESS CLASS KENTUCKY UNDER FIRE FOR ‘SHOWING OFF’

-

President Masisi’s Press Secretary Batlhalefi Leagajang has this week been trending on social media with many of his detractors disparagin­g him for what they term a penchant for showing off. Magatwe

the former newspaper editor who also goes by the name Kentucky was seen on Twitter sharing the luxuries of his business class suite and writing that while he was enjoying his time there, his media colleagues were at the economy class of the flight that was taking them to the USA where the president is attending a UN function and other assignment­s. Gatwe a re actually he wants to advocate for all government officials travelling by air to use business class. Those who claim to understand him better say there was no chance in hell he was worried about other government officials. Gatwe tota ene he only wanted something to use so that he shows off the luxuries he enjoys by being the Press Secretary to the President. Now the social media users are on his case, saying instead he has brought to light the amount of money government wastes on unnecessar­y things. Gatwe he should have rather been inside the president’s jet or at least used the economy class just as Sir Ketumile Masire did whenever he used a commercial aircraft for official duties. Ke gore Mokgatla o ipolaisits­e batho when tota ene he only meant to show how unfair government was to bundle other government media workers at economy class while he was up there with the bigger people. Ijo, kana social media can humble you, le a itse tota? Go bo gape go nna le lefufa!
