Multitudes of mourners, amongst them Vice President Slumber Tsogwane and former vice president, Ponatshego Kedikilwe were in Molepolole, on Saturday to pay their last respects to former assistant minister and diplomat, Gaotlhaetse Utlwang Sankoloba Matlhabaphiri.

Even though the temperatures were too low as various people spoke of Matlhabaphiri’s good deeds, multitudes from across the political divide found it befitting to stay put in the cold.

All speakers described Matlhabaphiri as loving to his family, musically gifted, and above all a true Botswana Democratic Party member. Matlhabaphiri passed away on June 28, 2018. He is said to have complained of flu and lost his life at a pharmacy at the Fairgrounds Mall.
