The youngest Gaborone mayor ever has also invited South African, actress, model and presenter Boitumelo Boity Thulo and model Maps Maponyane to be the MC’s on the night. The mayor will be celebrating 32 years on the night. Before the event, Thutlwe says he will spend the day with the Camp Primary School pupils.

“I will be spending the day with the pupils there that morning (Friday morning). I want to encourage them that it is possible to be great at a young age. I believe that it all starts at that age,” he said.

Thutlwe, an ex-University of Botswana (UB), Student Representative Council (SRC) president was elected into the mayor’s office in December 2014. He became the youngest ever mayor of the capital.

Thulo and Maponyane are not new faces to the Cigar Lounge. Maponyane made headlines last year when he appeared at the club. The night was so hectic that two Gaborone girls had to be banned from the club for what management termed “inappropriate behaviour.”

Thulo, who has been concentrating on her acting and presenting career, was also in South African media for her just ended relationship with South African motswako rapper Casper Nyovest. Casper Nyovest. She was in the country last month for her Africa Tour hosting the event at Travel Lodge.
