Also, many will agree that the Bangwato heir and founding president of Botswana, Seretse Khama fought vociferously against imperialist regimes as Rhodes' and caused the ushering in of independence on a silver platter to his nation, hence naturally, nothing could make the two men share any affinity! Even with the stark unlikeness, the commonality is that Seretse's health was also under constant threat under the weather conditions of Natal, where his custodian and uncle, Tshekedi Khama sent him to study at Adams College. This was so because Seretse's grandfather, Khama the Great, was cynical of the agenda by the London Missionary Society (LMS) so much that he refused them the serenity of Botswana to plant their school, and subsequently passed up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the nation to have a leading school in Tiger Kloof. But it was sooner than later that the young prince's family reckoned that the then Northern Cape weather might improve his health and extend him a lease of life, thus he enrolled at Tiger Kloof near Vryburg, before proceeding to Lovedale in the Eastern Cape.
An afternoon cruise at 140km per an hour along the N18 highway almost cost us a rare opportunity to visit this well known prestigious institute in southern Africa, due to our ignorance that it is located in present-day North-West Province and along the route we were taking to Bloemfontein.
