Puso Ascends Batlokwa Throne

Batlokwa chiefs from South Africa and Lesotho also graced the occasion. Puso took over from his father Moshibidu Gaborone who died in 2005. Various speakers at the ceremony spoke of the need to preserve culture and retain chieftainship in Botswana.

One of the tribesmen, Kgosintwa Gaborone, took Batlokwa through their history. He recalled that Batlokwa settled in Pretoria, South Africa, but later on during two wars, migrated to present day Lesotho. But they had to move again after fighting with the Basotho before settling in Botswana. A member of the royal family, Gaborone  also retraced the Batlokwa chieftainship family tree.
