“One should not easily throw away ideas only because they are traditional or are tribal taboos. When I was growing up, we were told never to stand in a centre pole in a rondavel during a rainstorm – it was a traditional taboo. Of course, when I went to school I learnt how, and why, lightning would strike the highest point in an area – such as the highest pole in a rondavel” (Masire 2006: 17).
Sir Ketumile Masire was born on this day in 1925 in Kanye.
