On behalf of the ALN Executive Committee and entire ALN family, we are incredibly saddened by the passing away of our Vice President for Southern Africa and President of the Botswana Movement for Democracy, Gomolemo Sir G Motswaledi.
Anyone who met Gomolemo will speak of his power to inspire through melodic words, his smile, as bright and warm as the African sun, and his ability to bring joy to a room with his deep laugh. I considered Gomolemo a friend and mentor and I looked up to him as one of those rare leaders that truly put the interests of his people before his own.
Gomolemo worked tirelessly to advance his vision of a Botswana and Africa in which every person is free and equal and able to live the life they chose. His loss is a deep one for his family, party, Botswana, Africa and indeed the world.
Whilst myself and the many people Gomolemo touched through his work with the Africa Liberal Network are devastated by this unforeseen loss, we are committed to celebrating his life and the immense contribution he made to the advancement of democracy in Africa.
We will intensify our work to ensure we do real justice to Gomolemo’s dream of a free and equal Africa. We promise to make you proud.o
