By: Paula Otukile
The royal clans of the Bangwato are mourning the death of the first born daughter and only daughter amongst males, Jacqueline Tebogo Khama.
She was a quiet and humble person, stayed out of the limelight although was the princess and the heiress of the first President of Botswana the late Sir Seretse Khama.
She was the one who had no time for media nor political influence.She was the aunt a sister and grandmother but nevertheless it is a great loss to the whole nation.
Question remains on the entire succession of the Bangwato chieftaincy after the suspension of the regent a few weeks ago, following his resignation.
Another pending question is whether the Khama brothers will be present to bury their only sister, Jacqueline Khama, the first born to former President, Seretse Khama and Ruth Khama died recently at the age of 72. It remains to be seen whether former President, Ian Khama will be back in the country from South Africa where he has been in self-imposed exile to bury his only sister.
Funeral arrangements have not been communicated yet.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
