In the recent past I became the leader of the Graduate Students Association (for Masters and PhD students), and worked closely with the SRC (for undergraduates).

A very similar scenario had occurred. Bokang Dumelang from GS26 was the President leading a cabinet of Moono wa baithuti. One thing I loved about the team, they respected Bokang and worked well with him. They never removed him.

Our children nowadays are more mature than some of us were in our time. They remind me of President Boko who always want us to understand that this country belongs to all of us. Removing the SRC President is the wish of the older generation. They wish our students could do things the way they used to do them. But, alas! This is a new and a totally different crop of Student politicians. They have mastered the art of coexistence, with a shared vision.

Congratulations to Moono wa baithuti, and to Mr President Rre Sechele. Let the work of advancing the interests of the students begin!

We love you both.

Today I'd say, "Ke motlaleng! Ke tlala! Ke legaba! Tlala ke nna!"

And their response will be, "Ke eng a sa mo tlhale?"

Tomorrow I'd then say, "Ke sepoko! Ke sule! Ke tsile go le pokela!"

And their response was very consistent, "La re tota mosadi yo, ke eng a sa mo tlhale? Waitse basadi ba ka baya tau botsetsi!"

Ka nako eo, nna le mogirl re dumalane ha pele ga Modimo le baruti hela ba dipurapura gore until death do us part

Now going towards our 21st wedding anniversary, I can confidently tell you that God knows us, and knows what kind of partners we would need for our journey. Our journey is never clear from the beginning, but the God who knows the end from the beginning, is gracious enough to give us partners that would be able to stand even when things take an unexpected form while moving towards the very purpose for which He has moulded us.

This wife of mine, was never a mistake. She was always within God's plan for my destiny. In the words of Christina Koch (the first woman to travel further away from earth), we are in a lifeboat called marriage and "we are a crew!" We splash-land together, and surely our splash-landing through the fiery flames of life's atmospheric pressures, shall be successful!

Tsala yame ya Lawyra!

People don't know that his actual name on his Omang is Attorney, and by God's grace he qualified as an Attorney making him Attorney Attorney Chuchuchu Nchunga.

This is the man who stood by me through tough times. He'd come to my house and pick me up saying, "Re ya picnicking" and we would drive to Bethel Transfiguration Church and play music, dance and pray. Sometimes we would play guitars, and at other times we would sit and talk about how cruel the past regime was. We would move from my farm to his farm just putting smiles on our farm workers' faces (go rêka ênê). Rre Nchunga is a true giver.

When I was made to sleep in a police cell in Lobatse during the Tlotso case, he was ready to sue government for unlawful arrest of Pastors. Ha a santse a re o tsaya kgato, o utlwa gotwe ke tswala dishopo tsa MaChina ko BBS! Eish.

As I was traveling 1800 kms from Midrand to Lusaka, I had an opportunity to meet with him, and he took me out for dinner. I could see he was very happy to see me. He showered me with gifts. He gave me a portable power bank, cute headphones and money. Madi a gagwe a gana go hela le jaana. Ke ja ônê mo Lusaka, ebile bangwe ba a bitsa madi a ga goromente. His love for me is beyond measure.

Go setse hela gore a kwale pina ka nna.

His flowers 💐 pha!! 🙏

I just got reminded that Geoffrey Motshidisi is no more!

I must say I was moved to tears yet again when I saw this on social media a few moments ago. Rre Motshidisi and his radio cohort, the likes of Phillip Moshotle, Mogatusi Kwapa are the ones who made me love radio. I'd tell myself that one day I'll be a radio presenter and that the entire country would know what it means to be graced for radio.

I ultimately joined Radio Botswana and Mme Margaret Modise gave me a tough challenge. She said, "Moruti, Batswana ba reetsa Motsweding FM ka Sontaga. Ke kopa o ba busetse g*e.". With that challenge in my mind, I consulted the One above, and He assured me of His presence with me. Lesa ke phatlole sontaga le sontaga! I'm sure I returned them back home, as the assignment required.

Every Sunday as I put the headphones 🎧 on, I'd remind myself of Radio Botswana's greatest presenters, and would tell myself that I'm engraving my name amongst the greatest. At that time Rre Motshidisi had retired. Mole le mole, Rre Motshidisi comes back! At that point, I felt like I was now living in the times of Phillip Moshotle. As if that was not enough, Bishy Mmusi comes back, who ultimately became my mentor and confidante. What a moment! I count myself blessed to have existed among the greatest talents. I am a proud product of a community of great talents.

Rre Motshidisi was a father figure who respected even the new entrants. He was very humble, and not intimidating. His talent lived on even into his old age. He shall forever be missed.

May his soul continue resting in peace 🙏

Appreciation post:

"Hello, Reverend Thuso Joseph-Class I!Afternoon Reverend , in God's name. That post is hilariously reflective of the global citizen you are.

We love it at Chopstix because we have introduced an economic ecosystem that promotes chopstick use as not only a culinary and dining utensil but a bridge for culture and food promotion across spaces.

We were actually launching it on Lobatse Online radio yesterday. A friend tagged me are bona Moruti ka dikgongnyana tsa lona. Blessed day".

Thank you 🙏
