Venson-Moitoi does the unthinkable

SEROWE: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) presidential aspirant, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi’s voice is calm and authoritative. She speaks slowly and exudes confidence that commands attention. Her words are punctuated with some silent pauses through her sentences, where her eyes would roll and wonder around while she seemingly chooses the right words to say.

From a small court clerk’s office in Mogorosi kgotla near Serowe, at the constituency ward where she says she won her toughest battle against a community that was drowning in alcohol abuse, Venson-Moitoi opens up to Mmegi about her race to be the President of Botswana.
