Matters of Omission

In response to Mmegi reporter's article entitled BDP women fight for Serowe, I would like to add value of contrast with regard to what he stated about Tebelelo Seretse's practices of assisting some families in funerals. It may be too late, but clarity is vital.

Seretse's involvement in funeral undertakings is not prompted nor initiated for election campaigns. It should be noted that Seretse has a rich portfolio in business as a board member in numerous companies, locally and regionally. One does not avail nor nominate themselves for positions in the corporate world. It is the companies that identify people of ideal calibre within their scope of criteria to be board members. Most of the companies Seretse joined have been greatly involved in charity works.

 What your reporter forgot to remember to mention is the fact that Ms. Seretse is the Chairperson of Funeral Services Group(FSG). She has been with the company for some years now. Her assistance in funerals is of no surprise. This affinity emerges from her experience in her company's social responsibility missions. The FSG has been helping some poor families in conducting their funerals even covering all the financial costs in the process. Therefore, Seretse has become trapped to the challenges faced by the poor. Seretse will always feel obliged to give a helping hand in her home village and ward in Serowe, either as an individual or businesswoman. Seretse is a well-known and prominent royal member of the Phenyamere in Serowe, she does not buy recognition.
