An achievement beyond wildest dreams

The 17-year-old beauty with brains says she is proud of herself, as this is an achievement beyond her wildest dreams. She also says she is honoured to have been given the opportunity to raise the blue, black and white flag, walking in the footsteps of her role models, Mpule Kwelagobe, Lesego Chombo, and many other Batswana women who have raised the flag high with pure grace before.

“I feel so grateful. Grateful is an understatement. It all started as a dream and now has become my reality, which is something that feels so surreal. I did not think that I would make it this far and still cannot comprehend how. But one thing I can definitely say is that it would not have been possible without the love and support of Batswana.
