Pat van Rensburg - the quiet old man of Segogwane Way

I did not know him that closely until I was employed in 1994, by Mmegi Publishing Trust (MPT), the organization he founded back in 1988. MPT office was at the premises of Foundation for Education with Production (FEP) in Segogwane Way Maruapula in Gaborone.

Patrick van Rensburg lived in one of the flats upstairs. So I saw him quite often throughout the years I worked for MPT.  Besides being founder of both FEP and MPT Pat was also former editor of Mmegi Newspaper that he had revived in 1984 following its dormancy. Mmegi was started in Serowe in 1967 as a newsletter for the secondary school and brigades.
