Tribute to Professor Tsie :: Mmegi Online

This past week a dark cloud descended on the academic corridors of University Of Botswana (UB) and academic community in general when one of the intellectual giants in the Department of Political and Administrative Studies passed on.

I received the news of passing with shock and disbelief that this giant, who was not well for sometime was no more. My interaction with Professor Batlhalefi Tsie started in 2010 when I went for further studies at University of Botswana (UB).

This interaction marked the start of a long academic relationship between myself and the Professor as he went on to offer a series of academic courses both at undergraduate and graduate level. Courses on Democratisation : Theories and Practice, Politics of Poverty in Southern Africa, Theories of International Relations, State, Politics and Development are amongst those that Prof Tsie taught me at UB.
