According to a family member, Mohohlo was admitted to the hospital two and half weeks ago after being unwell.

Mohohlo was the Governor of the Bank of Botswana between 1999 and 2016, during which she served in several operational and policy areas. She was later appointed as the Coordinator of the Economic Revitalisation Strategy in the SPEDU region, a position which came into being at the end of 2016, to coordinate efforts of attracting investment to the SPEDU region to generate employment opportunities to replace the jobs lost when the BCL and Tati Nickel mines closed.
