Former Commissioner of the Botswana Prison Service, Dinah Marathe, says she will forever miss the time she served with employees and prisoners who had welcomed and showed her unconditional love.

She made the remarks at her farewell party held at the prison officers’ mess in Village, Gaborone on Thursday night.

Marathe was recently transferred to the Botswana Police Service, where she is holding the same position after serving in prisons for two years.

Marathe said she served most of her life in the Botswana Police Service as she had settled well in the environment.
