The �I Do� of Kgalagadi :: Mmegi Online

TSABONG: He is an important personality in Bakgalagadi affairs, a fascinating politician, an expert negotiator in traditional matters, a man of drive, massive ability and determination in addressing social developmental issues. Keagamang Leshope, commonly known as ‘I Do’ is one of the most remarkable products of modern democracy from Kgalagadi.

Some of his political opponents hail him as an easy man to interact with. He will be contesting the now merged Lokgwabe/Tshane council seat. He is the third member of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) to win the Lokgwabe council seat after Otlaadisa Ditshetelo and Kelopile Kebadireng.

The 49-year-old Leshope attended primary school in his home village of Lokgwabe and went to secondary school in Lehutshelo. “I went up to Form Three and joined active politics in 1999,” he said. He was encouraged to become a politician by Kebadireng.
