Michael Kitso Dingake and the Association of South Africans Living in Botswana

Abstract

Speaking as a representative of the Association of South Africans in Botswana (ASABO)
at the funeral of the African National Congress (ANC) stalwart Dr Michael Kitso
Dingake in Gaborone on 14 April 2024, editorial consultant Douglas Tsiako took a
sweeping view of Botswana as the most frontline of the Frontline States during South
Africa’s tortured struggle for freedom and democracy and cast a harsh light on what he
calls ‘eclipses of history over interstices of time’ to find much in the shadows behind the
scenes.
