Moraka is a long held Tswana custom of sustaining the economy of a family. From days immemorial, moraka had been a hallowed custom and the kgomo became synonymous with life itself with the adage, ka e tlhoka ka tlhoka boroko, symbolising the value of cattle rearing as a vital economic activity in the life of a Motswana. According to Letshego Financial Services Botswana Chief Executive Officer, Frederick Mmelesi, his company launched Client Economic Empowerment initiatives in line with their commitment to improving lives. The giving away of the moraka is in line with Letshego’s newly launched focus, “Touching Lives”. “It is a strong message we are sending, that we can change lives, true to our tagline, “Lets improve lives”; it is a commitment in terms of what we want to achieve.
