His excellency Dr Mokgweetsi Keabetswe Eric Masisi, a Moshupa native, is serving in the current cabinet as the President of Botswana. From a political pedigree Hon. Masisi is son to the first MP for Moshupa who won the first elections after independence. Hon Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi also had one of his brothers serving as an MP in Francistown West constituency before his passing in 2013. He has received advanced training at graduate level in the fields of education, economics (social policy and social development) and recently began studying epidemiology. While the village is one of the most picturesque villages in the country it has not capitalised on its tourism potential and is not yet considered a tourist destination. It does have a Bed and Breakfast Guest-House in Jerusalem ward. There are a large number of bars, liquor shops and one newly opened night club. The nearest motel is in Kanye, thirty minutes drive from Moshupa. Workers in the Peace corps and volunteers can have accommodation organised through the Village Development Committee (V.D.C.) housing which is highly subsidised. Moshupa should actually be spelled and pronounced Mosopa, but has the name Moshupa because the first documenters were British, who did not pronounce it faithfully. An extensive history of Moshupa was made by Dr Jeff Ramsay, a historian who now works as press secretary to the office of the President. The information can be accessed at the Botswana National Archives by request. Some research has also been done by the University of Botswana history and geology department about Moshupa and can be accessed at the University Library.
