Apostolic Nuncio to pay last respect to Setlalekgosi

Setlalekgosi, who was the first Motswana to become a bishop, will be laid to rest tomorrow at Christ the King Cathedral.

Bishop Setlalekgosi died at the age of 91 after being ill for sometime.  “He was treated at the Bokamoso Private Hospital. Setlalekgosi was once taken to South Africa to consult a specialist and having been in and out of hospital for two months, the bishop finally took his last breath at Gaborone Private Hospital at about 4:30 pm on January 25, 2019,” bishop Nabuasah said.  He said the funeral mass will be at the stadium before the burial.  Bishop Setlalekgosi was born in Serowe on September 14 1927 and grew up in small village of Mmaphashalala in the Central District of the country.
