Seakgosing’s humility united bitter rivals

Speaking at his funeral, different speakers paid tribute to Seakgosing as a man who remained grounded despite his education, professional achievements, and political influence. They said he dedicated his life to serving people with humility and dignity. Seakgosing, who once served as a diplomat and senior government official, rose steadily through the ranks of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). Before becoming a Member of Parliament, he served as a specially nominated councillor.

Later, he moved to Gaborone, where he contested and won the Thamaga parliamentary seat during the 2009 General Election.
