He becomes Botswana’s 6th President.
“Let me start by appreciating the well-wishes from colleagues here and everyone from across Sadc who have been congratulating us for a seamless transition of power. Botswana continues to be a beacon of light in the region and continent,” she said.
President Boko was in Victoria Falls almost a fortnight ago for the World Children’s Day Celebrations where he said his door was open to the whole region.
