	Khama III
		Khama III (1837?-1923), also known as Khama the Good, was the kgosi (king) of the BamaNgwato people of Bechuanaland (now Botswana), who made his country a protectorate of the United Kingdom to ensure its survival against Boer and Ndebele[?] encroachments.
		The resolution came in 1885, when Khama's kingdom was partitioned: the territory south of the Molopo River[?] became the colony of British Bechuanaland, while the territory north of the river became the Bechuanaland Protectorate.
		The first president, Sir Seretse Khama[?], was the grandson and heir of Khama III, who died in 1923.
