Played by Jill Scott

According to Precious Ramotswe, the owner of Botswana's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, "There is no problem so great it cannot be solved by a cup of bush tea." Growing up in the country, Precious learned a great many things from her father: to rely on her wits, patience and memory, and most importantly, to follow her dreams, no matter what. And so, for her beloved country of Botswana, Africa and its people, Precious has started her detective career in Gaborone determined to do good with the time that God has been given her.
