The First Lady of the Republic of Botswana[1][2] is the title used by the wife of the President of Botswana.[3][4][5] Botswana's "first First Lady" was Lady Ruth Williams Khama, the English-born wife of the country's inaugural President, Seretse Khama.[6][7]

The title and office has been vacant since April 1, 2008, as the current President of Botswana Ian Khama, has never been married.[8] President Khama's status as a lifelong bachelor, and the absence of a First Lady, has proven problematic during official functions, and there have been moves to find a substitute First Lady for some occasions.[9]
