You have what it takes, PHK

Congratulations, Sir! Welcome to your new job. You are stepping into the shoes of such great men as Ketumile Masire, Peter Mmusi, Festus Mogae and Lieutenant Generals Ian Khama and Mompati Merafhe.

We take note that you have risen without harbouring a sense of entitlement because you were never numbered among the blue-eyed boys of the inner circle. Hence is it, in our view, an emphatic statement that henceforward, the band of lickspittles there must bring their indulgent complaisance to a halt.
