Despite the small population, the President told throngs of people who turned up for the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) Excellence Awards in the capital that there is an impressive quota of talent here.One thing he eloquently and passionately spoke about was the beauty of local women.He showered them with accolades and indeed thanked his bachelorhood for having the liberty to appreciate such creations. 

Before recognising one of the brainy-and without a doubt beautiful young women who shone at the award presentation,  Molepolole born Thulaganyo Tshukudu, Khama said the stage had seen many future Miss Botswanas. He was referring to the many witty and good looking women who received awards that night.(There were male receipts as well).'There is tremendous beauty that we have here,' he said.

He joked further that in this country, beauty is not only abundant but it seems to be evolving. At this juncture, he told attendants that the recent courtesy call made to him by the reigning Miss Botswana; Rosemary Keofitlhetse was evidence enough that local women seem to be getting fairer. 'She (the reigning queen) is a very beautiful young woman,' said the President. 

He sent the audience into stitches when he said he would wait a little longer before walking the aisle and that he would actually find 'the most beautiful' person!  While he is not getting any younger, a fact he also pronounced before the Tlotlo Conference Centre crowd, Khama said he still has some years to go.
