Shaw Kgathi is a Botswana politician. In 2009 he was elected as the Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture. He is a member of Parliament of Botswana and represents Bobirwa.
He had previously held sports positions, including sports master at junior and senior schools and was also a Director in the Department of Sports and Recreation and Supreme Council for Sports.
On being appointed, Kgathi vowed to develop the ministry during his tenure in office, developing sport policy and stadiums in Botswana and supporting youth programs like Re Ba Bona Ha in the country which he believes the government should spend more money on them to recognise and promote national sporting talent. He said, “There is a lot of talent in villages who may not be part of organizations such as BOTESSA and BISA and who may need such facilities to develop their talents. We also encourage all sports bodies to decentralize for the growth of sports in our country.”
