Ghanaians In Botswana Celebrate Golden Jubilee

Veteran politician, Motsamai Mpho told the GAB event that when Ghana  gained independence, he was a member of African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa. At the celebrations, he showed an old copy of a letter Ghana's founding father Kwame Nkrumah wrote to him in 1957 in reply to a missive he sent the Ghanaian leader, congratulating him when the country attained independence. Mpho regards Nkrumah as a star of African liberation. "Nkurumah was a man of the people," he said. He asserted that Nkrumah was sincere when he said Africa must unite.  

He said Ghana was used as a sharpening stone by the liberation movements. He said liberation figures used to visit the West African country to reinvigorate themselves ideologically.
