“For several years, Chibanda, Makgalemele & Company has helped us to organize a week-long educational program for U.S. law students in Gaborone. Much of the success of our program is owed to the fact that Pepsi Thuto and Bonzo Makgalemele are among the most respected lawyers in Botswana. They have opened the doors of the legal community for us, and our students have met leading lawyers from many law firms, judges, and other officials. From all of those meetings, it is clear that Pepsi and Bonzo are held in very high regard by all. Our students look to them as role models, for their professional and unswerving dedication to the law as well their great personal warmth. We have also been impressed with the rest of the lawyers on the team, who are all very bright and extremely capable lawyers in their own right.”
