This essay follows a narrative method of presentation. The novelty of presentations of this nature lies in the fact that they espouse or champion the personality of a person and the impact they have or have had on others, rather than putting emphasis on events. It took me a while to find or search for a theme relevant to a reflection on the life and times of Reverend Rasebusi Sidwell Mokgothu. After an extensive and intensive thinking, I settled for the theme “counter-intuitive leadership.” This essay is unique in the sense that as the narrator I have drawn so many experiences and learned so much from Sidwell’s life and time on the journey of life and faith as a fellow pilgrim.
