Mma Unity Dow & Mma Precious Ramotswe - Both remarkable women from Mochudi in Botswana.

Dumela boma / dumela bora - good day ladies and gentlemen! Dear Mma Ramotswe pod cast listeners in this new episode you will meet Unity Dow- one of Botswanas most remarkable woman. I’m pretty sure Mma Ramotswe would agree not only because they are from the same home village - Mochudi. Unity Dow is an internationally awarded democracy fighter, human rights activist, author of books, former high court judge, foreign minister and education minister and not to forget - a cattle farmer from Mochudi, just like Mma Ramotswe`s father Obed Ramotswe. Unity Dow gave this interview at the Botswana parliament on the 8th of March 2023, just before she had her International women’s day speech, in the parliament. No matter how busy she is, she takes time to talk about her beloved fictional friend Mma Ramotswe and her home country Botswana that is like a character in the novel serie. A country that now needs a lot of reforms according to Unity Dow. Something she is bravely fighting for. So welcome again dear listeners to hear Unity Dow sharing things like her passion for reading, the culture of Botswana and how the women’s role in the society has changed since we first heard about Mma Ramotswe in 1998. Production: Interview by Mats Ögren Wanger, Music by Mikael Rosen, Introduction by Ednah Rosen.
