The Chairperson of the Alumni Association of Swaneng Hill School (AASHS), Eutlwetse Chimidza, has expressed appreciation for the University of Botswana’s commemoration of the five youths who died in a road accident in Serowe in 1976 while participating in Swaneng Hill School’s fundraising effort organized in support of the Botswana University Campus Appeal (BUCA).

In a statement released after the ceremony in Serowe earlier this week, Chimidza said he and the rest of the AASHS membership were grateful to UB for hosting the commemoration of the five martyrs who died on their way to the Lady Khama Centre, the venue of the fundraising activity.

The five heroes comprised a Swaneng Hill School driver Fantisi Gaothobogwe and four young ladies: Maitumelo Kgari, Elizabeth Masake, Magadalene Khumalo and Sarah Mathware. Chimidza added that the contribution made by these five heroes from Swaneng shall forever be linked to Botswana’s educational legacy.
