The First Lady of the Republic of Botswana is the title used by the wife of the President of Botswana. Botswana's inaugural First Lady was Lady Ruth Williams Khama, the English-born wife of the country's inaugural President, Seretse Khama.
The title and office has been vacant since 1 April 2008, as the current President of Botswana, Ian Khama, has never married. 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.
