The Colours Of All The Cattle

When Mma Potokwani suggests to Mma Ramotswe that she run for a seat on the city council, Mma Ramotswe is at first unsure. But once she learns about the proposed construction of the flashy Big Fun Hotel next to a graveyard, she allows herself to be persuaded. Her opponent is none other than Violet Sephotho, who is in the pocket of the hotel developers. Although Violet is intent on using every trick in the book to secure her election, Mma Ramotswe refuses to promise anything beyond what she can deliver, hence her slogan: "I can't promise anything - but I shall do my best." Through it all, Mma Ramotswe uses her good humour and generosity of spirit to help the community navigate divisive issues, and proves that honesty and compassion will always carry the day.
