Letter to Sir Seretse Khama

For the first time since independence, we will be ‘eating Boipuso’ without your Vice President, Quett Ketumile Joni Masire.  Our second and longest serving President, Sir Ketumile Masire (was knighted by the British 26 years ago) left us few a months ago.

It was a sad day when Masire departed. The nation was united in grief.  We buried him on a Thursday and Batswana were not happy with the date of the funeral because they wanted to extend a similar tribute as they did during your passing.
