‘MASISI GA SE TAUTONA, BOTSWANA HAS ONLY ONE CHIEF!’

If you were not in Serowe over the weekend you surely missed out on a lot! Heelang, those people seem to have a lot of anger issues and someone somewhere has to do something about the mental state of most of those people before things get out of hand. For some inexplicable reason, many of those who gathered to discuss their Bogosi issues are convinced that the only people suited to become President of Botswana should come from Serowe and from the Khama family. If you were not there and did not hear the things they said, it would be difficult to believe that they really said the things they said. One even offered free education on the origins of the word ‘Tautona,’ in his attempt to show that President Mokgweetsi Masisi does not fit to be called ‘Tautona.’ The chap said the word should be used exclusively for Seretse Khama because he remains the only traditional leader to be draped with a lion’s skin on coronation as opposed to the leopard’s skin worn by other chiefs. Gatwe it was for that reason Khama was called ‘Tautona,’ and that using the name to refer to President Masisi was an insult to the Kingdom . Yes, the man added that Botswana is a Kingdom where only a King from the Khama family must be recognized countrywide, with Presidents only serving as Prime Ministers who operate under the only one chief of the whole of Botswana. Kana when those people spoke, it was clear they were very serious and convinced that indeed the Presidency was stolen from them.
