Dusty Mookane village, some 140km north east of the capital Gaborone is throwing a BOT50 Party like no other, with more than P1 million going into the BOT50 festivities. Thanks to the benevolent heart of the village’s daughter, Pinkie Setlalekgosi, known for her business exploits at the highly successful Sprint Couriers.

It was in mid-October last year at a prize giving ceremony for the local primary school that Setlalekgosi had adopted, where she proudly announced her plans for BOT50 festivities for the village of Mookane. At that event, Setlalekgosi told the gathering that Mookane village’s BOT50 festivities will be like no other,  that  even Gaborone,’s own festivities, would pale into insignificance compared to the Mookane extravaganza.

True to her words, Setlalekgosi’s over P1 million BOT50 party for Mookane shall see 10 cows slaughtered for the celebrations. Of these, she has donated four beasts, with others coming from local residents, Tselathata Tshipana, Boitshoko Dichabeng, Simone Matho, the Joba family and Galeitsiwe’s.
