relationships with aspiring young Batswana, much like Letsile, who embody
dedication, focus, and excellence in their endeavors. Bagaetsho, I would like you to
consider this: at his youthful age, Letsile has already shattered records, etching new
milestones for the African continent and beyond. He soars our nation’s flag high, and
for this, Batswana and the entire African continent stand in solidarity and trust in his
capabilities. Continue to make proud, Schoolboy!"
