Motlogelwa Publishes The Cabal

His latest book was launched a fortnight ago. In an interview, the young author said The Cabal was a fiction thriller novella set in the future, 2029. He said that was a period of General Elections, filled with uncertainties and doubts as to where the pendulum of power will swing. The main character is Advocate Tholo, who happens to be the Vice President of Botswana. During all this chaos, he is working on a research on the ‘history of diamonds’ in Botswana with the Permanent Secretary to the President. “One evening, he receives a shocking call that left him devastated.

The caller announced the death of his research partner. He is then involved in a complex investigation of his partner’s death, and he stumbles on information that could shake the historical foundation of his country. Our African and national issues that we talk about every day inspired me to write this book. “There are too many angry people about something everyday. It is very difficult to have civil debates on issues that affect all of us without offending someone. I figured I should explore some of these issues in a fictional work.
