The shaleshandos make history

Gil is the MP for Selebi-Phikwe West, while Dumelang is the legislator for Gaborone Central.  The two Saleshandos have become such a formidable team that the government media was recently ordered not to give them any coverage.

The two are held in high esteem in opposition circles. Gil listens attentively when the younger Saleshando is on the floor. Gil respects Dumelang as a political giant independent thinker in his own right. Gil says he and his son discuss politics and family issues often. But when they are in Parliament, it is strictly business.
