Nswazwi statue to be erected at Nswazwi Mall

Friday, January 19, 2018

FRANCISTOWN: A monument of John Madawo Nswazwi would be erected at Nswazwi Mall in the country’s second city in June or thereafter.

Nswazwi was the leader of Bakalanga-ba-ka-Nswazwi who fled to Jetjeni in Zimbabwe after he was exiled to Mafikeng in 1947 by the colonial government following a conflict with Bangwato regent, Tshekedi Khama. The controversial Tshekedi Khama was the great-uncle of President Ian Khama.

Nswazwi died in 1960. He was buried in Jetjeni and his remains were later exhumed and transferred to Nswazwi village where they were interred in 2002.
