To Same Bathobakae; �the call of death is a call of love��

French historian Voltaire wisely reminded us “to the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth”. It is with inmost anguish and sorrow that I have learnt of the sudden demise of the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tlokweng, Same Makgowa Bathobakae.

While William Shakespeare observed that “all that live must die, passing through nature to eternity”, no one could have been prepared for the untimely passing of Mma Bathobakae. 

I can only imagine what her family, friends and comrades are going through. I extend my deepest sympathies to them. Personally I am honored and blessed to have known and worked with her in Parliament and opposition politics. She was truly a blessing and we will miss her.  We part with her in pain and may the God Almighty give her eternal rest.
