“Our Botswana counterparts will conduct DNA sampling for comparison; they’ve already completed and sent the data to us. We have the data and are in the process of comparison. Sooner than you think, the two presidents will be inviting you as they will be handing over the remains.”‘I’ll never allow this nonsense’ − Gayton McKenzie on councillor allegedly ‘trying to stop EFF Town Hall rally’
