Dear Mokgweetsi Masisi Today, Wednesday April 1, 2020, marks exactly two years since you were sworn in as President of this republic, and I wonder how you will be celebrating this milestone while under quarantine. Kana right now we could be coming...
This year marks my 10th year as an employee of The Botswana Guardian and The Midweek Sun newspapers, under the CBET Pty Ltd company. I still remember one afternoon of 2010 when I was in Francistown. I was waiting for my graduation from the...
Boys will always be boys. This weekend after a long time I took a walk from my maternal ancestral mekgoro/ditlaagane to the southwest, much along the recently ploughed masimo. In this journey all memories of the early 1960s came to mind. Then boys...
We have witnessed and heard, we are still witnessing and hearing how some people, in this case people who identify as either lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or queer – LGBTIQ, struggle to come to terms with their sexual and gender...
NDABA GAOLATHE SAYS: The P10 million legal bill is not a UDC bill - it is our bill - it is an expense that every citizen (UDC or not) that cares about this nation should foot. The UDC has a legal bill of P10 million, or probably more. I see many...
Someone asked on radio call-in the other day what does it profit government to flag vehicles instead of flagging drivers’ licenses? I thought his was a valid, rationale reasoning. Come to think of it, why should traffic police flag a vehicle, as if...
My dear reader, let me tell you about a guy who turned into a cat in two minutes. This guy was a tall, dark and muscular charming philanderer, who probably thought he was God’s gift to women and chowed them as if it was his calling in life. One...
Dear Dr. Kaelo Molefhe Let me join the chorus of those who have been offering you a word of encomiums on your recent appointment as the country’s lead driver of governance. It is a well-deserved appointment and is given from a pure heart of...
Dear Tebogo LebotseSebego My dear friend Tebbie, I send my heartiest greetings to you and your bosom buddy Tebbie in the hope that you are both at your healthiest state considering all things past in your otherwise eventful lives. But more than...
I was listening to the late Dr. Myles Munroe’s podcast on Diligence recently. I should admit it left me challenged to revisit the way I do things. He says that diligent people get up early enough to arrive on time to appointments and to complete...
Marriage along with its arrangement and associated preparations has changed. We have adopted the tradition that has obliterated our past. This past weekend my cousins and I had a long discussion on the matter. We reminisced about yesteryears when...
There is an interesting anecdote about one former top politician who in his prime, although married, was a philanderer of note who had a field day “chowing” and “blessing” women left, right and centre. It is said that some of these...
Radio Botswana and Botswana Television must really get their act together! Their news reading leaves so much to be desired. The newsreaders have little regard if any at all for Standard Tswana – they desecrate the language with so much impunity....
Happiness is a direct experience of enthusiasm. Remember, it is not how or when we accomplish something that matters most, it is the sense of enthusiasm during the process that demonstrates our quality of life. Boxing writer Bo Bennett puts it...
Growing up in an extended family was awesome. Every adult treated each child as his or her own. We as children knew every old person within our clan as rremogolo, malome mmamogolo, mmangwane, malome or rakgadi. Every one older than us was mogolle...
In my “past life” I worked at a particular company and there was a lady who seemed to hate my guts. She would snarl at me or give me a scary cold stare that terrified me. I was confused because as far as I was concerned, we had never had any...
We are a very ambitious people but our commitment has a short fuse! If we are to compete with other countries, we must start with building a thick skin. And we need not look any farther than next door up north in Zimbabwe. Here you’ll find some...
To whom it may concern The debate on the recently released Junior Certificate Examination results has taken the same pattern as has been the case over the years. The quality of the results themselves has not changed either – if anything, overall...
BY OBAKENG MATLOU The daily struggles some babies have to bear just to earn education is utterly distressing. Earlier around 14:40, on my way to Kopong, I picked up two pupils, a brother (10) and sister (13), the latter doing Standard 7,...
This time I was sitting alone under the cool Motswere tree as the famous Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?” song kept playing in my head. It is because as I sat there, I couldn’t help but wonder what really was going on in our...
