Sir Ketumile, the Press on local and foreign trips

On local trips, we can agree that Sir Ketumile had an edge in traversing the unforgiving terrain of the country by road to address kgotla meetings on government policies and issues of national concern as per his itineraries announced over Radio Botswana at least a week before his departure.

After every Kgotla meeting, Sir Ketumile would avail himself to his press team to provide clarity on policy issues raised during his meetings. Question time was the most challenging and interesting part of his meetings as he would handle issues directed to him with sharp intellect, sometimes using idioms and proverbs to illustrate his point.
