It has become an official tradition for the exiting state President to traverse the length and breadth of the country bidding citizens farewell after serving the statutory 10 years.

Khama hands power to Vice President, Mokgweetsi Masisi in an automatic succession set up come April 1, 2018. Citizens are expected to dole out gifts closest to their hearts as an appreciation to the President after his uninterrupted 10 year’s stay at the highest office in the land. Khama also served 10 years as former president, Festus Mogae’s vice president. Circumstances do vary as the President interacts with the people across the country. Khama is expected to bid farewell to three different areas today, including Tatisiding and Masunga.
