Botswana is one of the most peaceful and stable countries in Africa today. It owes this to one person more than any other: Sir Seretse Khama. Seretse Khama was born in 1921 as future chief of the Bamangwato tribe in Bechuanaland, which is now Botswana. But his dream was far greater than merely to be the chief of one tribe. He also wanted to free his country from British rule and unite all the people of Botswana. His dream came true in 1966, when Seretse Khama led Botswana to independence. But this did not happen easily. This book tells the story of how governments lied and interfered in the affairs of Botswana and in the personal life of Seretse. It shows how this great man fought back - with dignity, commitment and a vision for a great country. They Fought for Freedom tells the life stories of southern African leaders who struggled for freedom and justice. In spite of the important roles they played in the history of southern Africa, most of these leaders have been largely ignored by the history books. The series tells their stories in an entertaining manner, in clear language and aims to restore them to their rightful place in history.
