Chimbombi: Leading brains behind UDC manifesto

A man who lived a dedicated and selfless life. I first met him through his wife, with whom we worked together at the then Botswana Training Authority (BOTA), later BQA. He used to come around to pick up his wife. I also met him through his late younger brother, Prof Ezekiel Chimbombi, who lectured at BUAN.

As a family, the Chimbombis are kind, generous, and very friendly. I came even closer to Micus when his younger brother-in-law married in my home village Papatlo, and he came there as one of the Motswiri's (his wife's maiden surname) elders leading the marriage negotiations. We used to trade in business as I produce and sell lebelebele feed, and he would come from along the way from Gaborone to Metlojane to buy feed and travel to Makopong.
