Meet a BDF general called Hallelujah!

He hails from Moshupa in the Southern District and started his school in the same village in 1972. After completing his secondary education he joined the newly formed Botswana military in 1984 as an Officer Cadet. He progressed through the ranks after his commissioning to the current one in 2014.

He stands as one of the contestants for the position of Commander of the Defence Force as it is expected to fall vacant before the end of the year. He is the most junior of the other three major generals and one wonders if his first name will make a difference. Named Hallelujah at the time of his birth, he probably will attract the blessings of the Almighty to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
