Waaow!Even then!We must give an uprising to women.....or words to that effect!
Why don't we allow women to do THAT to the full(?)
After all they run our affairs in the backyard!HUH!!
Such progressive thoughts!
I'm just learning about all these great leaders of Botswana now-September 2023!!
We need to showcase them to ALL Africans.
They are such an inspiration!

Forgive me as this is irrelevant, but I expect South Africans, being fellow Setswana speakers, to pronounce Setswana words sentle. The way he pronounced 'Kanye' :P

He is wrong about that racist Ghandi but he was Botswana's best president by far. We miss him. Bana ba di elites (khama and masisi) are destroying BDP legacy
