'Tshekedi II' reference offends Tshekedi

However, TK gets very hot under the colour when anybody refers to him as Tshekedi II, whether joking or during an official event. He revealed his displeasure at an event last Thursday where a director of ceremonies invited him to the podium but committed a cardinal sin of introducing him as Tshekedi II.

“First let me set the record straight,” TK hissed, this time not joking at all. “I am not Tshekedi II, unless someone seriously tries to offend me. I am Tshekedi Khama,” he bellowed matter-of-factly to chastened participants from the tourism industry.
