It is with great sadness that I learned of Botswana’s former President Ketumile Masire’s passing. He epitomised the type of informed leadership our continent so direly needs. As the principal architect of many of Botswana’s economic and political successes after independence, he showed what is possible if leadership puts the country’s rather than one’s own interests first. Even after retirement, President Masire played constructive roles in many diplomatic and peace-seeking initiatives across the continent. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to President Masire’s family and to all people of Botswana during this time of mourning. May he rest in peace.

Due to his resolve to diligently serve, Botswana became a beacon of democracy in the continent. A shining example of democracy whose dim is now the order of the day. MHSRIP
