Masire Recalls His Challenges In Office

In his memoirs Very Foolish or Very Brave, Masire says there was a big difference in how Mogae worked as compared to his predecessor, Phillip Steenkamp.

"Every morning and evening, Steenkamp would go through a few things of which he wanted to inform me, or on which he wanted my view or a decision. Mogae, on the other hand, kept to himself, and I had to show I needed him before he would appear; he didn't consult others - even me, his boss.
