A chat with Motube, the retired longest-serving police spokesperson

Mmegi: Who is Dipheko Motube?Motube: My name is Henceford Dipheko Motube, born in Kopong back on July 13, 1962, but my parents originate from Gabane, so Gabane is my ancestral village with 98% of us based there. In the past, residents of villages like Metsimotlhabe, Kopong, and recently Gakutlo came into existence because people from Gabane had occupied them as their lands (ene ele masimo a bone) and later developed into villages.

I attended my primary school at Letsholo Primary School in Kopong from 1971 and 1978 and went to Molefi Senior Secondary School in Mochudi between 1978 and 1982 doing Form 1 up to Form 5. I was placed under Tirelo Sechaba (National Service) at Zwenshambe in 1983. Then, I was placed in various departments, sometimes assisting at the clinic, primary school, and the village Kgotla.
