Masisi's bootlicking facebook clip a hit

Serema told The Monitor that the clip was sent to him by a friend, and added that its popularity has been overwhelming.

Serema says he has shared only three videos online, but this one has been of great interest to many, adding that the video is only available on Facebook. Saturday afternoon the clip, shared to 23 people, had received 41 likes, 116 people, attracting 103 comments, had shared the video clip in which Masisi boasts about being lelope and le latswa thipa, loosely translated as a bootlicker. Masisi's clip was taken at a culture day celebration in Thamaga. The Facebook hit has divided opinion with some saying bootlicking pays while critics accuse the minister of seemingly promoting immoral behavior that indicates sucking up to the powers that be, for a reward.
