Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The late headman of arbitration and Boteti Ntlo Ya Dikgosi representative Kgosi Godfrey Serapo has been eulogised for showing that traditional and political leaders can work harmoniously.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at Kgosi Serapo’s funeral in Toromoja Saturday, different speakers among them Vice President Slumber Tsogwane, portrayed the deceased as someone who clearly understood that the Constitution of Botswana was crafted to create a cordial working relationship between political leaders and dikgosi and that the two were complementary.<\/p>\n

Mr Tsogwane said Kgosi Serapo\u2019s conduct, the way he worked with political leaders and everyone else was exactly what was expected of dikgosi and every civil servant.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscussing issues openly and not hiding that which needs to be corrected is what is required if things are to run smoothly,\u201d stated the vice president adding that the deceased exhibited the mentioned traits. Clashes between the political and traditional leadership were a result of individual characters and not constitutional flaws, he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Tsogwane said Kgosi Serapo, who died March 29, was never associated with bad conduct because he understood his role as a leader and head of family.<\/p>\n

Speakers also described the late Serapo as an honest, correctable and benevolent man.<\/p>\n

In her message, Kgosi Serapo\u2019s wife Neo said before he was transferred to Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital where he died, her husband had spent two weeks in Riverside Hospital\u2019s ICU unit.<\/p>\n

His son, Mr Ontlametse Serapo said his father showed all he associated with love, kindness and support.<\/p>\n

Chanoga\u2019s Kgosi Oateng Setlhodi said in Kgosi Serapo, Boteti had a true leader who represented his area well.<\/p>\n

He said the deceased served Boteti region, Ntlo Ya Dikgosi and Dikgosana Association without reservation.<\/p>\n

Boteti District Council chairperson, Mr Molemi Galeragwe as well as other dikgosi spoke highly of Kgosi Serapo and his good work ethic.<\/p>\n

They described him as level headed and a leader who had the interests of Boteti at heart.<\/p>\n

Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Phandu Skelemani and Ntlo Ya Dikgosi chairperson, Kgosi Puso sent messages of condolences expressing gratitude for Kgosi Serapo\u2019s service to the nation.<\/p>\n
