Still The Longest Uninterrupted Democracy in Africa over 58 years.. There was A Peaceful Transition Yesterday, No hate , Bloodshed or holdin any Prejudice towards the Opposition or anything 🇧🇼
While peaceful elections are good, democracy is not voting, elections, etc. these are tools of democracy, democracy is the rule of the people...is that how Botswana is governed?
They are basically mono- ethnic. Whichever side or party that wins- it's all in the family so to speak. So there can't be a problem. Try say, 45 ethnicities, increase the population by a factor of 30; and let's see how it works out.
@lavimuia7612 your opinion Sir ,but how would you describe places like china , India or even the United States, they are not mono ethnitic like u describe but they are doing pretty well socially
For a long time, I worry that leaders from BDP in Botswana, SWAPO in Namibia, FRELIMO in Mozambique, ANC in SA, and CCM in Tanzania would be willing to step down after being in power for so long when elected out. Masisi must be feeling awful as he not only became Botswana's first one term president, but the president who also failed to maintain his party's dynasty. The fact he still listened to the people is something highly admirable. May God bless Masisi and Boko in their new roles in life.🇧🇼
ANC didn't get the majority, they formed a GNU, but some ANC and EFF comrades will forever remain bitter about this GNU it seems, calling ANC a sellout for working with the DA and FF+. Lets see how things unfold...
@ there is no corruption that is coming we know what we did.Worry about your country and leave us alone.Botswana will never be like other African countries period.
I lived in Botswana for a few years as a boy (UK) and found it a very open country, very friendly. I studied its history while I was there at school and I am glad that it seems to be upholding the basic tenets of democracy, always a good sign when the existing government hands power over peacefully. I met Ian Khama at a function with my Dad once, he was very kind to a small boy!
@@قطريوأفتخر-ع7ك even if that's true, which its probably not especially if Russia is included with Europe... Just counting untapped resources as way to determine a continent's prosperity is incredibly stupid. I'm sure the Congo has more resources than Monaco but I'm certain the people in Monaco are more prosperous.
We are proud of Botswana for maintaining peaceful elections and stepping down respectfully. It says a lot about the outgoing president. He loved Botswana more than himself
I feel like I'm dreaming 🥺I never thought that the BDP will ever lose the General Elections and the UDC has a lot of intellectuals congratulations to UDC and President Adv Boko
I am a motswana from Palapye, we are proud of our beloved country, we do love both Rre Masisi and Rre Boko, the fact that there was homony in transition.
Beautiful Video I am From Botswana (Ramotswa) 🇧🇼 It was my second year on voting the leader of the country Us as citizen of Botswana We wanted change To give other political party To rule the country High rate of unemployment it was high And many more At elections it was upon us to stand up vote for a leader To create jobs, minimum wage s for workers and pension for our elderly people . First time to see the BDP party accepting a defect You did all your best Congratulations to His excellence Duma Boko 5years Having a Big task ahead of you and the new cabinets We hope to see change and growth of the economy development in Botswana 🇧🇼 PULA a enne 💪 Keep bringing more
Botswana is a shining example of democracy in Africa. The fact they have a strong, independent judiciary separates them from alot of African countries.
It separates them from most of the country in the world not just Africa. Look at the USA , I would say botswana democracy is stronger than them to be honest.
Viva Botswana Viva this is incredible I love you all for making this happen, it was long overdue, fresh ideas will carry our beloved country forward, I’m so grateful and proud to be Motswana ❤🙏
From what I recall Botswana was doing comparatively well opposed to it's neighbours. I hope the new party also emphasises economic freedom and avoids unnecessary deficits . Thank you for the great video.
It'll be harder now to dislodge ANC while they're in bed with DA who have access to unlimited funding from European handlers. The election passed was the time to enact change in SA but the people are still living in delusions.
What has Nigeria got to do with this. Seems you are uneducated. Nigeria has been transiting power since 1999. If your party do not win, it has nothing to do with Nigeria you are just bitter
All past Botswana presidents had very strong finance ministers; Masisi chose a useless one. In the past government has never had issues paying public servants, but months towards elections there were always memos going out saying salary payments would be late. And for the first time, the government was using money from reserves to pay salaries. Also, govt suppliers’ invoices are way behind in payments.
Yes, but that is a reflection on Masisi himself, not on any subordinate he appointed. If you fire successive permanent secretaries in the Min of health, close down Central Medical Stores so your family can benefit, or destroy the country's reputation with false allegations (proven in Court, mind you) of massive P100 bn heists, or alienate your biggest industry partner De Beers - no economy minister of whatsoever competence can save you. The man was a narcissistic, lying cheat, serial bungler, and an incompetent of unprecedented stature. Botswana did not deserve such a buffoon as it's leader. Constantly threatening to annihilate elephants, insulting citizens, grabbing land, and trampling on truth and decency. Good riddance
That was for allowance of tertiary students, not public servants, which is not at all unusual. They are paid well in time and without delay to my knowledge there may be problems for few people but I haven't heard that news before. Unless you can show me a memo saying public servants were not paid in time, you are talking BS. Please present your accusations with evidence before accusing my country of such things.
I love this younger, gentle, and vibrant person. Thank you for showing us ,with God all things are possible. Please promote God fearing teaching and love. See God's suffering in your brothers and sisters. Give and surrender your administration in God's hand. Pray every morning before you go on with your activities.
Hi 👋🏾 I am Tswana Australian. Nothing exciting recently in Au, but we have had our moments. My introduction to Australian politics was the Rudd-Gillard-Abbott era. Now that was interesting 😂. I had just relocated for university, and I was like wth? Kept me on my toes.
Another reason why Masisi lost is his alleged ties to ZANU PF in Zimbabwe which tainted Botswanas reputation as a democracy. Secondly, his persecution and pursuit of Khama , who a sizeable number of Tswanas hold dear, left a sour taste. But nonetheless , him conceding the election results gratefully and accepting defeat is commendable more especially in Africa. Great video. Much love
Why do people talk as though he was being charitable or gentlemanly? Conceding defeat is not to his credit. He had no bloody choice. We would have dragged him by his unmentionables out of office if he had dared do otherwise
The new government of President Advocate Duma Boko finds the state in high debt, low foreign reserve, has gh unemployment, high cost of living, high corruption, as Motswana staying in Botswana Gaborone I want fellow Batswana to be patient and positive with the UDC government and support the changes so we can see Botswana get better
In all 54; countries in Africa... the citizens of Botswana have shown maturity and accountability for their country..... they have a mentality of Americans..... they are fed up with one party doing as they like
Via Botswana 🇧🇼 Via for showing us true democracy practices in Africa, we Batswana are proud of our leaders for not disappointing us and disturbing the peace ✌🏽🕊️ of our nation and us as Batswana for showing true character and loving one another to uplift our country via Botswana 🇧🇼 Via
It is not something new to keep voting out people who get drunk with power. Its very rare to keep a member of parliament in power for over 2 terms in Botswana. This tym around, we kicked the whole government out. I love my country Botswana 🇧🇼 ❤️
This is one of the reasons why people turned against Masisi. He went on a sort of nationalization drive. We all know how that has worked in other resource rich developing countries. Batswana were not interested in his war with debeers that started after he had already tanked the economy. His mission to promote local food production by banning South African vegetables led to run away vegetable prices and shortages in the past few years. It was not working. He had nothing to offer the youth and middle class. And many of his policies were just ill thought and harmful to most Batswana. That's why BDP lost.
This is an important step for Botswana. The nation's commitment to political liberty will increase with a successful transfer of power between parties and individuals. It will also raise the requirements for politicians to listen to the people rather than taking their election for granted.
Congratulation Sir, Africa is seeing the light at last. Change is owed to our youth to rid ourselves of the old self enriching ways. ANC, out GNU in, Zanu PF MUST get out now and make space for the future. Change in Botswana is good, Change in Mozambique Must happen. Lookl at Zambia, Rwanda and and where there has been change, Its for the Good.
Well, it's less bad than it looks in terms of the MP numbers. BDP got 30% of all votes, they would be comfortably the second major party in any sort of a proportional system. But Botswana got a first past the post system with one MP per constitutency instead of any proportional system. So that country-wide range of like 25-35% in most constituntencies simply didn't cut it against the more mobilised opposition electorate it appears.
@@chinerpetonhe was presented with the opportunity to change electoral law they banked on Past the pole as it was working for them even rejected the hybrid one but today he and past Cabinet are regretting the move and turned down the Direct Presidential and he costed his MP's prospects,we went for them i don't know if UDC would amend or live like it is.
How much did the splintering of BDP impact this? First Past the Post can often entrench governments for a long time, until their own members rebel and start a 3rd party. Good luck to the incoming government, and thanks for this timely reporting.
They took away the BDP stronghold of 12-16 seats today those constituencies were shared among UDC,BPF and BCP while BDP retained 4 Constituencies in the South of Botswana the BDP was encircled without it's usual stronghold and fell from power.
❤nothing shocking about Mr Duma winning e elections. Botswana is unique n a great example to the other African countries tt systematically rig elections .Zimbabwe has done so since 1980.Some Zimbabeean teachers are hearding cattle in Botswana,some are security guards in SA
Bro there's has been many transfer of power . Why do you still think of Africa like in 1960s. If you are laughing at Africa, remember your January 6 th riots . So much for your democracy 🙄 .
This is so refreshing to see. Our politicians here in the US could learn a few things from Botswana about peaceful transitions of power. I'm scared to death of what the Democrats might do if Trump wins again.
This is the kind of African leadership we want to see in Africa, not the kind of nonsense we are currently witnessing in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, the stupid leadership in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Congo Brazzaville and Burundi. Thank you Botswana and thank you Batswana for leading by example
He has to watch his back like Ibrahim Traoré did. He had so much attempts on his life. I love Traore because he is a born leader and knows how to leard.
No he doesn't have to watch out for anything, if you knew Botswana you would know that that kind of mentality has no place in our society, a good example is that even during the reign of the outgoing president Masisi who had a bitter fued with his predecessor Khama, Masisi did not attempt to eliminate Khama. This is Botswana, you settle your score in court or at the polling station and the rest is business as usual
@@michaelmo267 idk about all that, Masisi had to watch his back during his tenure. He obviously surrounded himself with those loyal to him and dismissed Khama loyalists. During Khamas reign, a few notable figures were unalived and some fled to neighboring south africa, Kgosi Kgafela and D Kenosi
Interesting, yet rather shallow analysis in answering the "why?". Given what you say Masisi achieved, could it be that his populist approach, including the focus on empowering his people through ownership of resources(for example, re-negotiating on diamond shares and allowing elephant hunting), brought the wrath of international capital against him? Also, his africanist approach( for example, open borders with Namibia and Zimbabwe), might have costed him in the context of how Batswana generally dislike foreigners, more so Zimbabweans who are regarded, and rightly so to an extent, as political and economic refugees)? And certainly, people need to know what the beef with Khama was all about-with some sections indicating that Khama wanted to be a "puppet master" after "handpicking" Masisi. All the same, congratulations Botswana for demonstrating democratic maturity!
We don't dislike foreigners you are wrong the general population simply want Batswana to be prioritised in their country as is it has been in the past, the thing about modern afro centricity is that they want to "unite" in peaceful countries instead if fixing their own countries first then uniting, you cant be burdened by your neighbours who are unwilling to pull up their socks and be OK with it, Botswana's resources are finite therefore the citizens have the right to want to be the sole beneficiary of what our forefathers left us and nobody can shame us for that
I hope Namibia learns and votes out SWAPO, and that South Africa finally votes out the ANC next election (sad the ANC won this year). Wishing the best for South Africa and Namibia.
The people of Botswana must keep in mind that with great expectations comes even greater disappointments,58 years is a long time the tentacles of BDP will take longer to be removed from every system of government and by the time they do it will be another election period already. Take notes from Zambia.

@@michaelmo267 idk about all that, Masisi had to watch his back during his tenure. He obviously surrounded himself with those loyal to him and dismissed Khama loyalists. During Khamas reign, a few notable figures were unalived and some fled to neighboring south africa, Kgosi Kgafela and D Kenosi
My country my pride❤❤

hello
what's the link to this website showing the UDC's manifesto
Interesting, yet rather shallow analysis in answering the "why?". Given what you say Masisi achieved, could it be that his populist approach, including the focus on empowering his people through ownership of resources(for example, re-negotiating on diamond shares and allowing elephant hunting), brought the wrath of international capital against him? Also, his africanist approach( for example, open borders with Namibia and Zimbabwe), might have costed him in the context of how Batswana generally dislike foreigners, more so Zimbabweans who are regarded, and rightly so to an extent, as political and economic refugees)? And certainly, people need to know what the beef with Khama was all about-with some sections indicating that Khama wanted to be a "puppet master" after "handpicking" Masisi. All the same, congratulations Botswana for demonstrating democratic maturity!
We don't dislike foreigners you are wrong the general population simply want Batswana to be prioritised in their country as is it has been in the past, the thing about modern afro centricity is that they want to "unite" in peaceful countries instead if fixing their own countries first then uniting, you cant be burdened by your neighbours who are unwilling to pull up their socks and be OK with it, Botswana's resources are finite therefore the citizens have the right to want to be the sole beneficiary of what our forefathers left us and nobody can shame us for that
I hope Namibia learns and votes out SWAPO, and that South Africa finally votes out the ANC next election (sad the ANC won this year). Wishing the best for South Africa and Namibia.
If this was Zimbabwe, they'll be a very high death toll....
The Young Generation effects👍
The power of reasoning 💪
I want to watch more of dess historical videos a week time
Give us a full video on duma bokos history
Botswana's prosperity is based on its obedience. They can't manage to be free from the West which controls the economy . Its a pity
What is shocking? It is democracy.
Do you know the history of African leaders with power? He's one of a kind
@rethabilemofokeng7846 Those are dictatorship not democracy.
The BDP failed to diversify the economy for 58 years!
Meanwhile, Cyril Ramaphosa clings on to power here in South Africa.
You didn't vote enough
you r mad
The people of Botswana must keep in mind that with great expectations comes even greater disappointments,58 years is a long time the tentacles of BDP will take longer to be removed from every system of government and by the time they do it will be another election period already. Take notes from Zambia.
