Seretse Khama was actually a very good president

So I heard. Finally, something positive for a change.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Mma Ramotswe, in the 'No I ladies Detective Agency' books by Alexander mccall Smith, always regards him with great affection. As these books seem to be quite authentic in the way they depict life in Botswana, i imainge this must be a quite widely held opinion among real Botswanans.

Yes, he was! I was interested to see at the end of the film that his son is now President of Botswana. I wasn't aware of that.
Although I knew about the marriage I didn't know about the split between Seretse Khama and his uncle, so I learned something as well. I admire Ruth Williams; what an enormous leap into the dark she took - especially for an Englishwoman in the late 1940s! Very well acted by all concerned, and an excellent film.
