Mogae Continues The Legacy

Last week, Mogae hosted a high profile anti-AIDS meeting for the Champions of an AIDS-Free Generation in Gaborone. The champions include former presidents Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Joachim Chissano of Mozambique and Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania. Others are Justice Edwin Cameron, Professor Marriam Were, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

This is a good initiative by Mogae and all those who are with him in the group. During his term, he took the challenge to fight HIV/AIDS. He stood up at a time when many leaders were still shy to speak openly about HIV/AIDS.
