What they said about Masisi

“Seose polotiki le fa o ka kanama jang o jelwe, o a ema o itlhotlhore botshelo bo tswelele pele. (This thing called politics, you slip and fall, dust off and continue with life as if nothing has happened),” Mpho remembers his father telling Mokgweetsi.

This was after Mokgweetsi had lost the party primaries to Maitlhoko Mooka prior to the 2004 general elections. The advice worked. Mokgweetsi dusted himself up and rebounded strongly to win the 2009 elections. His star rose further when he joined the front bench first as an assistant minister.
