Masisi's fitted cap: A crown worn before coronation

When Botswana’s then Vice President, Mokgweetsi Masisi rocked the 2015 BDP congress with a fitted cap embellished with trinkets, some immediately went down memory lane to the time American rapper, Plies encrusted a diamond medallion on his fitted cap.

Although not as luxurious as Plies’s piece, Masisi eventually won the chairpersonship at the congress and his gaudy yet glossy headgear was never to be forgotten. It was indeed the first time to see a high profile politician wear a fitted cap that confidently went well, especially with a suit. He proved at the time that life is a little simpler when you don’t have to think about what some people would say.
