Public Affairs, University of Botswana.
Mr Sabone's porlfolio within Public Affairs entailed internal and external cornmunication, media
liaison, compilation of media database, advertising and marketing and event managernent. These
duties have contributed in transforming Mr Sabone into an illustrious individual.
Mr Sabone has displayed utmost commitment and diligence to work, He is an active team player
with excellent writing and communication skills. He is also a reliable person who has absolute
i'espect for authority and is self-disciplined.
I have been consistently impressed by both Mr Sabone's attitude towards his work and his
performance on the job. Mr Sabone proved himself to be able, self - motivated, reliable and
hardworking. I have known him to be attentive, cocperative, ever willing to learn and with good
planning and marketing skills. He is able to work with little supervision. I was quite impressed by
his ability to complete all work assigned to him on time, if not before it was due. I had pleasure in
working with I,4r Sabone especially as he is a result oriented and a go getter.
ln consideration of the above account, I duly without any reservation recommend Mr Sabone for
