DEATH NOTIFICATION: CDE MALEBOGO MPHO LEBOTSE

It is with a heavy heart and a profound sense of sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of Comrade Malebogo Mpho Lebotse, a dedicated educator at Radikolo Junior Secondary School,Mochudi.

Bearing news of this nature to the teaching fraternity never gets easier; in fact, it grows heavier with each loss we are forced to endure.

We convey our deepest, most heartfelt condolences to the Lebotse family, the staff and students of Radikolo JSS, and the entire education community.

The rate at which we are losing our colleagues across the country has become deeply alarming. The continuous departure of these dedicated professionals leaves a painful void, not just within our staff rooms and classes.but in the very hearts of the communities they served.

When an educator passes away, a library of knowledge, mentorship, and community guidance is lost forever.

The entire nation is feeling the weight of these losses. Teachers are the backbone of Botswana's development, shaping the minds of tomorrow's leaders, innovators, and citizens. To witness the country losing its vital teaching personnel at such a frequent pace is a national tragedy that affects us all.

May the gentle soul of Comrade Malebogo Mpho Lebotse rest in eternal peace, and may the family find the strength to navigate this incredibly dark hour.

Robala ka kagiso, Comrade. Your contribution to the nation will not be forgotten.

Death Announcement: Cde George Sentle

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Cde George Sentle, a distinguished Biology teacher, educator, mentor, and father figure to thousands of students across Botswana.

Cde Sentle departed this life on 5th June 2026 after a short illness. A well-known and highly respected educator, particularly at Selebi Phikwe Secondary School where he served as Head of Department, his impact extended far beyond the classroom. He was more than a teacher he was a parent to many students, offering guidance, wisdom, discipline, and unwavering support that shaped not only academic excellence but also character and life paths.
The buzzing of social media posts by former students and the broader Phikwe community bears testimony to the deep love and respect he earned. Tributes continue to pour in, with many describing him as a legend whose lessons in Biology were matched only by the life lessons he imparted daily.

Selebi-Phikwe has lost one of its finest sons and a pillar of the education community. But this is not just a loss for Selebi-Phikwe the entire nation has lost a dedicated servant of education. Cde Sentle contributed immensely to the development of human capital in Botswana through his commitment to nurturing young minds with knowledge, integrity, and passion.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, relatives, colleagues, former students, the Phikwe community, and all those whose lives he touched.
As we prepare to bid him a dignified farewell, we call upon all former students, colleagues, members of the education fraternity, the Selebi-Phikwe community, and the nation at large to attend his memorial service and funeral in large numbers. Let us come together to celebrate a life well lived and honour a true educator who gave his all to the development of our youth.

Rest in Eternal Peace, Cde George Sentle.

Your legacy will continue to inspire generations. 🕊️
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
