Living with nostalgia is not helpful most of the time but I am reminded of Colonel Baatweng who would have crafted a sweet response in defence of his commander. I often referred to him as “a man who lies for the commander.“ He was determined to preserve the image of BDF as an organisation and the integrity of its leadership.
