Some residents of Qangwa in the Okavango District were over the moon after receiving gifts from President Lt. Gen Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama who is traversing the length and breadth of the country to bid Batswana farewell.

The gifts ranged from food hampers, comforters and sweets for children.

President Khama promised to continue supporting them beyond his presidency. He said he would continue giving out donations aimed to restore dignity.

Earlier on, Kgosi Kgwebana Ledimo of Qangwa thanked President Khama for his term in office, noting that many would remember him for his good deeds towards the entire nation.

He described him as a good leader who paid attention to people’s concerns.

Kgosi Ledimo said President Khama frequently passed through his village to Xaixai where the government had empowered Xaixai Tlhabologo Community Trust to implement tourism activities in and around Gchwihaba National Monument as well as to enhance diversification to tourism products in Ngamiland.
