The rise and rise of Masisi

His elder brother, the late Francistown West MP, Tshelang Masisi consoled and encouraged him to soldier on despite losing, as politics is full of ups and down. The brother told him that if he was determined to win, he had to work very hard to overcome obstacles.

Mpho Masisi, the son of the late MP reminisced how his father lectured his uncle, encouraging him not to lose hope of winning elections. “Seose polotiki le fa o ka kanama jang o jelwe, o a ema o itlhotlhore botshelo bo tswelele pele. (This thing called politics, you slip and fall, dust off and continue with life as if nothing has happened,”) Mpho remembers his father telling Mokgweetsi.
