Background
[edit]Tshekedi Khama was born in Serowe, the son of Khama III, known as Khama the Great, by his fourth wife Semane Setlhoko.[2][3] He was educated in Serowe, then at Lovedale, a Church of Scotland school in Cape Province. In 1923 he enrolled in the South African Native College in Fort Hare.[2]

A Biography of Tshekedi Khama
1905-1959
MICHAEL CROWDER'S
UNFINISHED TYPESCRIPT 1988
Here, in answer to several enquiries, is all that was found of his much-heralded biography of Tshekedi Khama in Michael Crowder's papers after his death in August 1988. There was no handwritten manuscript, only the computer diskettes covering six initial chapters, which are printed out below.
These pages were printed out for Michael Crowder's literary agent and literary executor, Andrew Best of the Curtis Brown agency, who then referred them to Prof. Isaac Schapera. Schapera pointed out the unfinished nature of the project, with these chapters barely covering up to 1937, and spotted a number of minor errors. The chapters also duplicate much of the history to be found in Michael Crowder's book The Flogging of Phinehas McIntosh (Yale University Press, 1988). Unfortunately Schapera's comments were only seen by Andrew Best, and were subsequently mislaid.
The typescript is presented "as is". Some pages and paragraphs are unfinished; there are repetitions and notes and some author's personal comments suc
