Mashatile attends inauguration of the newly-elected President of Botswana

Deputy President Pual Mashatile is today attending the inauguration of President Duma Gideon Boko at the National Stadium in Gaborone, Botswana.

Boko was elected after the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) successfully won the 30 October polls, defeating the governing party Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) which has been in power for 58 years.  

“The Deputy President is attending the inauguration as delegated by President Cyril Ramaphosa who, following the announcement of President Boko’s victory, congratulated him and reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to working closely with Botswana, as a valued neighbour, to realise the regional integration agenda in pursuit of Africa’s prosperity,” a Presidency statement read.

According to the Presidency, South Africa and Botswana enjoy strong political, economic, and social relations, which date back to pre-independence in Botswana, during the struggle against colonialism and apartheid in South Africa. 

“South Africa wishes President Duma Boko and the Botswana government well in this democratic transition and looks forward to supporting the country’s efforts toward economic growth and prosperity,” said the Presidency, ahead of Friday’s inauguration.

According to the SABC, former President Thabo Mbeki and the Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, are expected to be among the attendees. – SAnews.gov.za
