In this explosive episode of The Punchline Podcast, we sit down with Joao Carlos Salbany, the fearless human rights lawyer who has taken on some of Botswana’s most powerful figures and institutions.

From his battles with BDP administration especially under former president Khama and late DISS director Isaac Kgosi to his legal advisory roles with Duma Boko, Salbany reveals the untold stories behind the DCEC appointment and his abrupt exit, the P100 billion Butterfly case during former president Masisi, and the fight over Botswana’s secret ballot laws.

We also explore his brief history with Collins Newman & Co, his stance on the death penalty, and the cases that landed him in prison and exile. Plus, he shares his thoughts on Margaret Nasha’s legacy, political maneuvering in Botswana, and whether he is truly "Enemy of the State."Raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic—this is Joao Salbany as you’ve never heard him before.
