Botlogile Tshireletso made her political debut in 1978, after she was recruited by Resaapele Senai. At that time, all she was armed with was a six-year old ‘forced marriage certificate’ which she has said did not add any value to her life.[5]
She was raised up in a family of staunch Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) supporters. Tshireletso has gone to tell BOPA (Botswana Printing Agency) in an interview that by age of 23, she felt indifferent towards politics as she dreamt of having a professional certificate. Tshireletso would later be lured by veteran politicians to the Mahalapye BDP office where she was hired to do a menial job. She was tasked with recruiting new members and worked hard keep them active, unknowingly, this began her lifetime a political career.[citation needed]
Prior to becoming an MP, the mother of three was a Councillor for Mahalapye East ward (before the delimitation exercise).[citation needed] She was also at one point the chairperson of the Central District Council (CDC). Tshireletso was at CDC for 25 years.[citation needed] She has been in Parliament since 2004.
