Motsamai Mpho turns 90

Anne Clifton Hill, one of the organisers, says they decided to host the event for Mpho in honour of the contribution he has made, not only to the country's politics but also for his contribution for the development of Botswana and its people.

Mpho is one of the founding fathers of the nation. He was a founder of the country's first political party, the then Bechuanaland People's Party (BPP). The other founding members included Klaas Motshidisi, Kgalemang Motsete and Philip Matante. Due to internal strife within the BPP, Mpho left to form the Botswana Independence Party (BIP).
