LAMBING AT SHEEPFOLD FARM

COLOUR BAR: THE TRIUMPH OF SERETSE KHAMA AND HIS NATION

Seretse Khama, the first president of Botswana, met and married Ruth Williams in 1948 after coming to Britain to study law; at the time mixed race marriages were considered unacceptable. The couple was forced into exile for six years after the racially oppressive regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia put the British Government under pressure.
