On 15 November 2018, DLG attended the Law Society of Botswana Gala Dinner, which event was graced with the presence of his Excellency the President Dr. Mokgweetsi E. K Masisi.
His Excellency the President delivered a rousing and impactful keynote address on the theme of the Rule of Law, Good Governance and Democracy.
DLG’s Managing Partner, Mr. Rizwan Desai, who is a member of the Law Society Disciplinary Committee, gave the Vote of Thanks on behalf of the Law Society. In his Vote, Mr. Desai mentioned that “It goes to the heart of our great nation, and has been at the core of our society, to pay more than lip service to these noble ideals, to live up to them and to, in fact, live them…”
Mr. Desai concluded by stating that as lawyers are powerful and prevalent in the body civic, in order to end up with a just and enduring society, we [lawyers] are to stay true to course so as to ensure that Botswana observes the essence of freedom, and that [in Abraham Lincoln’s great words] government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the Republic.
