At 6:15 p.m. on Monday evening--the busiest time of the day for many Curves, including the one in Gaborone, Botswana--His Excellency President Lieutenant General Ian Khama caused a traffic jam on the circuit when he delighted members with a surprise visit.

Coming straight from a football match and still dressed in his sweats, he sampled a few of the workout machines and inquired about the members' results.

Khama was escorted by three bodyguards and accompanied by Attorney General Athalia Molokomme, a Curves member.
