Like many Batswana of his generation, Dr Batlang Comma Serema grew up in the village.

Serema was born and raised in Tonota by a teacher and a family that was dependent on livestock and arable farming. He was born in a Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) family, the party that has since catapulted him to being a High Commissioner.

“I did my primary and secondary education in Tonota where my interest in politics and community development bear their foundations.

I was in my later years to follow in their footsteps when I came to study in the University of Botswana in the 80s,” he said.
