  • The city of Gaborone is buzzing and ever lively in the early hours of the morning around 6 am. As many make their way to work and school. In the morning traffic, there is patience and understanding between drivers though a few casualties of cars breaking down, etc. We are often taught culturally at homes as a lifestyle hack and that too a cultural norm amongst young women, to awaken early and do the due duties then. This was to allow for immense rest in the mid day, when the sun is at its peak. Out of this norm , most awaken early to begin work or school as early as possible, because the midday fills anyone with fatigue as the heat is extensive. This has grown embedded in our lifestyles and has become a part of daily life. At the hours of 7 am to 9am, one can have the savior of having breakfast on the go, a nice round fat cake, or flatbread (which is very different from the Indian flatbread) if hurrying to work is the main priority. Additionally, many breakfast shops are open and serving breakfast at this hour.
    For any commuter, driving from the suburban towns and district into the city, it is advisable to wake up about two hours before depending upon the transport schedules of that area. Typically, from district to district/ city or town to city commuting, 24-30-seaters (sprinters) are the fastest to commute with because of their agility to time. However, still, there are buses of larger capacities that travel into the city. All these buses, sprinters, minibuses commonly known as combis arrive and depart from one place in the city into various other places in the city. This way one can easily know that if they are at the central point of departure and arrival they are much exposed to all the transport routes to any part of the country.
    The country of Botswana is widely known for its exports on beef and beef products. This is because there is a large number of cattle on the land. Culturally, cattle are known to represent wealth and social status and still are today. The average farmer who is able to turn herds of cattle into investment and production is wealthy indeed and is ranked at high social status in the city. Although industrialization and corporate worlds seem, on the surface, to have eradicated farm life, the reality is that these farmers are found as the big investors in companies and may hold political influence. Due to this respect of nature, cattle are never really held in constriction but rather respected in the city and whereabouts as part of nature. It is difficult to hear of cattle theft or herd theft or goat theft because these are abundant in the country. The existence of cattle is seen as a normal part of life and regarded as a normal aspect of the nature around us. So much so that even in our urban areas, if a herd of cattle decides to cross the road, road traffic stops to allow them to cross the road. They are of substantial importance to our heritage and currency and still play a big role in traditional weddings and proceedings.
