In memory of the late second president of Botswana, Sir Ketumile Masire and his wife Olebile Masire, Livingstone Kolobeng College (LKC) honoured the two by naming the accommodation halls after them.

Both the names of the former president and former first lady are engraved on the accommodation halls at LKC. The boys' halls are named after Ketumile while those for girls are named Olebile. The halls can each accommodate 48 students. Gaone Masire, the daughter of Sir Ketumile and Lady Olebile on behalf of the Masire family stated that she will always be amazed at how even after her parents’ passing, they still get the love and appreciation from the nation they served.

She highlighted that naming the accommodation halls after their parents could have not been more befitting as her parents believed in education with all of their might. “Today’s dedication of these boarding halls, now proudly bearing the name of my parents, Olebile and Ketumile Masire, truly believed that education is the cornerstone of fulfilling life,” Gaone added. “Their unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning was evident in every aspect of their work and their lives.” Moreover, Gaone acknowledged what LKC did as she went to thank them for engraving her parents' names in the accommodation halls out of their own interest without being instructed to.
