Mogae to join 'club' of retired presidents

Sir Ketumile Masire and South Africa's former post apartheid president, Nelson Mandela are engaged in a statesmanship mission and they joined their peers in a gathering otherwise known as the "retired presidents' club.

And the latest addition to the club is retired British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
In a public lecture he delivered this week at the University on Botswana on 'the role of natural resources in Botswana's economic development,' Mogae made a commitment to university academics that he would not be lost to them on his retirement. "I look forward to interacting more with the university community in my retirement," said Mogae.
After of Mogae's address, Mmegi caught up with his spokesman, Jeff Ramsay to decode what exactly the president meant. "He has no plans to be an employee of the University of Botswana. Retired presidents are not encouraged to get jobs," said Ramsay.
