Why F/town lost legal ceremony to Lobatse

The ceremony was scheduled for Francistown but was cancelled last November due to what were called logistical obstacles. This was treated as a snub by northerners who were preparing to grace the occasion that was first held in Francistown in 2002. For the Tuesday event, a steering committee was created in Francistown to make preparations.

But the committee was halted in its tracks when it received a missive last November that its work had come to naught because the event had been shifted to the traditional venue of Lobatse.
