Dear Editor,
I read the last two posts on this blog about the Botswana’s bachelor President Ian Khama.
When it comes to presidents, even though, no two are precisely alike, there are some common characteristics they all share. Most of them are married men, or women. In the US, for instance, out of the 45 presidents that have come and gone only one of them never said “I do.” His name is James Buchanan who was 15th President of the United States.
At present, the only bachelor President that comes to my mind is Ian Khama of Botswana. The fact the he is a bachelor President has led to some guesswork regarding his sexual orientation. There are some who are wondering if he is straight or gay.
I would like to use this short article to state categorically that Mr. Khama is straight, heterosexual. I am speaking from personal experience.
Neither Mr. Khama nor his fans see his bachelor status as a handicap in his leadership role. In fact Botswana’s economy is among the fasted growing economies in Africa as a result of President Khama leadership.
Finally we the people of Botswana want to see the best in our ‘White House’. The President has said that he is looking for a slim, tall and beautiful first lady for the country. If the President needs a week, a year, or a decade to find the perfect woman, we are ready to bear with him.
There is a reward in patience.
Thank you in advance.

Dikeledi, you said you are writing this from personal experience. May I know whether you’re a man or woman? if you’re a woman, then it’s possible the President has worked on you, right?
