Dr. Moffat- The Ramotswe Family Doctor

Warmly welcome dear Mma Ramotswe lovers. In this episode we will meet Dr. Howard Moffat a very intersting person both in the books and in real life. Dr. Howard Moffat appears from time to time as a character in the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books. He is a real person and is an old friend of the author of the novel serie professor Alexander McCall Smith. And believe it or not Dr. Moffat is a relative of the legendary Dr. Livingstone. I belive its partly because of Dr. Moffat and his wife Fiona Moffat that the No1. Ladies Detective novell serie exists. They first introduced Alexander McCall Smith to Botswana in the 1980ties and that’s how he started to develop his love for the country and its people 🇧🇼. We also know that the main character Mma Ramotswe grow up in a village called Mochudi, thats the village where Dr. Moffat used to be the head of the local hospital and also treated Mma Ramotswe father Obed Ramotswe. Apparently there many things to talk with Dr. Moffat about and also to find out what is real and what is fiction. Was he for example the president of Botswanas medical doctor, did he play a mayor role in the fight against HIV / AIDS and did he sometimes preach in the Anglican Cathedral, is it for real or fiction? Who could know better then Dr. Moffat himself.
