| [All Africa] President Lt Gen. Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama says he is stepping down at the end of his term in office a happy man, and that he has learnt a lot from Batswana. Addressing residents of Bokspits, Rapalspan, Vaalhoek and Struizendam, President Khama said he learnt about the diverse culture of different tribes. "That is why I decided to promote culture including polka music which is predominantly enjoyed in the area," he said. The four villages are known as BORAVAST, and is an acronym for Bokspits, Rapalspan, Vaalhoek and Struizendam.President Khama said amongst the things that he learnt was the diverse culture evident in different tribes. He added that the idea of constituency tournaments emanated from Bokspits. He added that during one of his visits to the village some youth complained that the Botswana Football Association (BFA) did not recognise them because they were far from the cities. President Khama told the multitudes who came to bid him farewell that they should be proud of their constituency because it had unique features such as sand dunes that made it to be known worldwide. |
