The day Betty came to town

The story goes that a certain celebrity from a neighboring country graced our shores a weekend ago; leaving in behind a storm only second to the just ended general elections. This lady, Nonhle Thema, is said to have jetted into the country at the behest of one of Gaborone’s trendiest new joints, as well as one local clothing store where she was to promote an international shoe range.

Armed with just a Matric certificate, Ms Thema is by no means a very big person in stature. Standing at just 1.50m tall in her heels, she is just slightly taller than a drum and would not look out of place among a class of primary school students. But for what she lacks in height, Nonhle definitely seems to make up for vocally.  Only a few months ago, she was all over the news because, once again, her seemingly big mouth had landed her in some other trouble with her fans and sponsors.
