From public service to party pillar: Chimbombi story :: Mmegi Online

Former Vice President of the Botswana National Front (BNF) and former Minister of Lands and Agriculture, Dr Micus Chimbombi, has been fondly remembered by his party comrades as a humble and principled man who led with quiet strength, deep compassion, and an unwavering commitment to unity and public service.

According to former Member of Parliament (MP) Phillip Khwae, Chimbombi joined the BNF in 2012, shortly after leaving the public service, where he had been suspended from his position as Permanent Secretary due to alleged links with the party.

At that time, Khwae said, Chimbombi was not yet involved in politics, but his brother, Moses Chimbombi, who was an active member of the party, played a pivotal role in recruiting him. He officially joined through the Makopong Ward structure as part of the constituency delegates for Kgalagadi South. "From the moment he joined, he committed himself to strengthening the party’s presence in our area. He truly believed in unity," Khwae recalled.
