Kgosi kissing his wife

Multitudes of Batlokwa on Saturday thronged the tiny village of Malokaganyane in the outskirts of Borolong capital Goodhope to celebrate with their Kgosi Puso Gaborone as he said, “ I do”, to his sweetheart Thandie Leshomo. Leshomo is a banker with Banc ABC and also of royal blood. Her uncle Kgosi Leshomo is the chief of Malokaganyane.

The ceremony started mid week with a church service at the  Roman Catholic Church in Tlokweng before proceeding  to take pictures at the National Assembly Buildings. It was at 2pm when the convoy of flashy cars, including a seemingly brand new Range Rover with ‘Royal wedding’ in place of number plate bearing Kgosi and Mohumagadi were met with ululations, whistling and catcalls.

Called upon to give his speech, Marakadu Gaborone would not say much only to express his gratitude at Kgosi for having given his Morafe a Queen. The Chairman of Ntlo ya Dikgosi would later point out a crucial role played by Marakadu in getting Thandie to be his wife, “This man Marakadu always drove me to church and he would park right behind a certain car at church, this was a way of marking the territory for the Kgosi so as to make sure Kgosi sees the woman before she could leave,” he said. Gaborone said he would also while in church take pictures of his to be wife without her knowledge.  “Ï still häve the pictures which she will only get to see after today,” he said.”

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
