''We need women like her in politics,'' Mma Potokwani says, ''instead of having the same old men every time . . .'' To be elected, Mma Ramotswe must have a platform and some policies. She will have to canvas opinion. She will have to get Mma Makutsi''s views. Her slogan is ''I can''t promise anything - but I shall do my best''. Her intention is to halt the construction of the Big Fun Hotel, a dubious, flashy business near a graveyard - an act that many consider to be disrespectful. Mma Ramotswe will take the campaign as far as she can, but lurking around the corner, as ever, is the inextinguishable Violet Sephotho.
