Mogae wants Palapye museum in place

PALAPYE: Former president Festus Mogae says it is his wish to see a Palapye Museum in place. He said he had been eager to see such a development in place while he was still in power.

Speaking during the occasion to view the late traditional music legend Ratsie Setlhako's tombstone, Mogae said with a museum, the village's history and culture would be preserved for posterity. He said the museum would not only preserve his but also the legacy of the youth and other local people who have contributed to the development of the village.

Mogae mentioned that besides Ratsie Setlhako, other people who deserve a place in the envisaged museum include the late Kgalemang Motsete, who once stayed in Palapye and is widely recognised as the founder of Botswana's first political party, the Botswana Peoples Party (BPP) national anthem and his ability to start Tati Institute.
