Tshekedi Khama: No axes to grind

The commemoration of Kgosi Tshekedi Khama’s 110th anniversary in Pilikwe last Saturday was quite some spectacle. It drew people by the hundreds from all over the country and the region, perhaps the most conspicuous being the flamboyant Baherero. They came in their numbers from far-flung regions of Namibia and Botswana.

They were accompanied by royalty: His Royal Highness Tjinaani Maherero, the grandson of the legendary Herero leader and chief of the Omahehe region – as well as  their traditional leader, Paramount Chief Vikuii Rukoro.
