Khama replaces Mogae

Bank of Botswana (BoB) public relations officer Chepete Chepete has said that the new P200 banknote would be purple with a rampant Zebra watermark.

"The portrait on the front of the banknote is an art work of a woman teaching pupils. The concept is intended to underscore the contribution of women to the country's development through education; it can also be interpreted in other ways, such as the important social role played by mothers in nation building (Go ruta mosadi ke go ruta setshaba). On the reverse side, there is a picture of a herd of Zebras at a waterhole," he said.
