Slumber Tsogwane, the VP from nowhere

Two things happened that would set Masisi towards the presidency. The first, his appointment as Assistant Minister and later Minister of  Presidential Affairs. It is here that his work ethic was noticed by Khama. He was a hard worker. The second event that would become a springboard was the infamous 2011 national public service strike. Here, Masisi went all out to defend the government when most of his colleagues watched from the sidelines. He did such a good job that he was targeted by Johnson Motshwarakgole and other trade unions for elimination at the general elections. He survived. Khama was impressed.

Foes were not amused by Masisi energy and eagerness that they composed songs about how bad a person he was for doing such a ‘good’  job at defending the undefendable. If you ignore the lyrics, you could actually dance happily to the songs. Masisi, the Chutney Sauce loving Minister would be propelled by these events to the Vice Presidency. Yes, Masisi loves Ms Balls Chutney Sauce.
