Khama Grows Polka Interest In Mookane

It has emerged that the group of Polka dancers that mesmerized the crowd at Mookane’s Bot 50 celebrations got their motivation from President Ian Khama after watching them perform Mookane early this year.

The Polka group from Mookane Primary school, which has been adopted by Pinkie Setlalekgosi,  the recipient of Presidential Award for her dedication to community development last year, had a presidential treat of their own to remember when president Khama dated the entire Mookane polka group for his birthday in February  this year.

The coach of the polka group Sarah Van Staden says as soon as the president  was done visiting the prisoners on his birthday he focused the rest of his day to the Mookane polka youngsters who were accommodated in  a hotel in Gaborone before  the President  flew with them to Tsabong on February 27, where the group interacted with some very good polka dancers, something the coach says helped sharpen the Mookane dancers’ skills.
