Masire played a role in the various projects that Molosi produced especially the ones that tell Botswana historical stories. He was a great source of information on the Blue, Black and White theatre play, which went on to premier on Broadway.
“10 years ago he was one of the first elders to believe in me and the work that I do especially telling stories about Botswana. Beyond that he became my friend and elder.
He made sure that I had access to him,” Molosi said. Apart from the Blue, Black and White theatre play Molosi went on to work closely with Masire who wrote the foreword on the actor’s debut book We Are All Blue and also featured on the documentary of the book.
Through the relationship he cemented with the former president, Molosi stated that he learnt the importance of humility and being humble.
“I would like to thank the Masire family for sharing him with the world. He always made everyone feel welcome,” Molosi said as he expressed gratitude to the moments and wisdom he received from Masire.
We Are All Blue film documentary, which premiered last month, is one of the last visual documents that featured the late Masire.
“I remember in 2010 when Mr. Molosi asked me if I had any humorous memories of my time with Sir Seretse.
The tenacity that Molosi displays in his excavation and re- imagination of our past must be commended, and it is my hope that he will continue to capture and preserve our stories for coming generations,” reads extracts from the foreword written by Masire on the We Are All Blue book.
