Thekwane,it's the that tells of death

Botswana is slowly becoming a nexus for detective stories. The most famous still is the first one, launched in 1998, "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" (Mmegi, 11 February 2000) by Alexander McCall Smith. He has since published nine detective novels in the Precious Ramotswe series that over time have also belonged to Grace Makutsi, J.L.B. Matekoni, Phuti Radiphuti, Mma Potokwani and the orphan farm in Tlokweng (Mmegi, 13 June 2008). They have also been immortalised in a television series that had its start this year and may continue for many more (Mmegi, 25 April 2008).
