Multitudes of mourners thronged the former national team motor biker, Motsumi Lekone's home in Metsimotlhabe on Saturday morning to lay him to rest. The 44-year old quad biker passed away on March 18 following a short illness.

Various speakers at the funeral described Lekone as a selfless, dedicated person and a socialite with a great sense of humour. The director of Botswana National Archives, Peter Choto whom Lekone worked under for the past six years as a records manager described ‘Tsuu’, as he was affectionately called, a team leader and a go-getter who was not afraid of any challenges. “He is the one who represented the department in most social events. He organised most of the sport events and other community service projects. We immensely relied on him in those kinds of projects,” Choto said.

A representative from the Botswana Motor Sports (BMS), Tshepo Mbakile said Lekone’s success in the game was mainly due to the dedication he had for the sports and said it summed up the type of person he was.
