A letter to Koma :: Mmegi Online

Madume Shololo, I trust you have not peeped into Thalefang Charles’ letters to Seretse. Yet I am certain that the noise from Xhosa 1, Mahalapye, not far from where your body returned to the soils from which you were formed, must have reached even the quiet halls of the afterlife. Hehehe, Fronta has done it, the BNF is in government!

Forgive me for writing so late. My elders in the newsroom have failed to update you, so I in my youth, must bear the burdensome yoke of briefing the old socialist about the new republic. I tremble to name those who should have long penned this missive, but in the spirit of Puo Phaa , Victor Baatweng, Ryder Gabathuse and company have been sleeping on the job.

It took decades of struggle, party splits, and stubborn faith, but the seed you planted has sprouted through the earth. The flag you carried when it was unfashionable to speak of socialism now flies above the State House.
