Open to letter to His Excellency President Ian Khama

Dear Mr President,

Hope I find you well and that your work and family are fine. As for me, work and family are fine. I am made aware that the business of running a country is taxing, nevertheless I am hoping you will have time to read my letter. It was also good to see you talk on CNN, Voices from Africa programme, a couple of months ago. I particularly liked your emphasis on your desire to be in touch with as many of Botswana's citizens as possible so that you have first hand information on what is happening in your country. I also liked those images when you were riding what looked like a motorbike or a 'small car' in the forest, I don't know the exact name of this 'small car'. You looked so relaxed unlike some of our Presidents who strike fear in us every time they pass by or open their mouths and are always in suits and tie. I am always in a jean and T-shirt as you were that day. It is my desire to try one of these 'small cars' when I come to Botswana one of these days.

So far I have only been to Francistown to buy soap and toothpaste which I could not find in Zimbabwe. I take this time to also complain about immigration officers, especially one big woman wearing red earrings, she was really nasty to us, we slept at the border.
