Merafhe's health worsens

Even as he stood up 'The General', as Merafhe is affectionately called, did not utter a single word, as he slowly walked back to his seat supported by family members that included his wife. The recorded video, with clips capturing his illustrious 52-year career in the civil service, could not hide Merafhe's seemingly deteriorating health, despite the fact that this was an edited tape.Merafhe was later seen supported on both sides by family members, and wearing heavy clothes, as they ushered him to a warmer place inside the hotel where he dined with President Ian Khama.
