Dearest Venson-Moitoi Mma-V wee, today I am just going to bite the bullet and risk the wrath of your fanatics by asking you to pull out of this presidential race thing you have thrown yourself into. You see, I know your backers will find this...
Vat-en-sit, as cohabitation is sometimes referred to, is a common but controversial living arrangement among couples. But it is a necessary evil. Some people enter relationships with delusions, fantasies and false perceptions, so they need a dash...
An accomplice is a fellow traveller – a collaborator or accessory if you will. If a crime is committed he also shares part of the blame, because he is a partner in crime, whether by deed or omission. He cannot be absolved, he is liable – the...
Dear January Allow me to pass my condolences on the sudden passing of your bosom buddy December of 2018 with whom you conspired to eat and drink us off our hard-earned money. The way things were going with that December lad – the parties,...
After reading about the corrupt activities by Isaac Kgosi, we would be cowards to have only him as a criminal. All the CEOs of those State Owned Enterprises who are involved must also be charged. Magodu a mantsi golo ko Domi koo. I mean, we have...
Happy New Year beloved readers. It is my prayer that the Lord will sustain you and your families this year. I learn as I grow older that life comes full of ups and downs. That no one can run away from challenges. But above all, I learn that God...
Unlike it was the case in the past, we, the 21st century parents, no longer play a role in the upbringing of our children in the community. And these children thrive on knowing that of our failure to act jointly in their discipline. In the months...
The old toilets at the primary school I went to were apparently haunted by a ghost that terrorised anyone who dared to enter them. We named it Pinky Pinky. We would sometimes flock to the toilets and someone would shout Pinky Pinky! We would all...
In just under one year, President Dr. Mokgweetsi Masisi has proven his political mettle by drastically shaking the very foundations of this democracy. He has unmasked the sham, the deceit and the lies of our government. Sadly, his mission risks...
Dear Sir Ketumile Joni Masire Greetings to you Quett. It’s been a long time since you and I last confabulated. I remember the last time we did was when we were at Alec Campbell’s residence in the Lion Park enclave, where you gave me invaluable...
Power has always been associated with leadership. In the traditional Setswana setup, royalty wielded a lot of power within the society. It is quite interesting that despite the powerful nature of master-servant relationship that defined...
The year is coming to a close and amongst the festivities and hopes for 2019, I think it’s important for me to look back over the past twelve months. Not only to give myself a pat on the back, as we all deserve one of those for getting through...
Let us consider one of the first Ernesto’s of 2018, which was published in January when we returned from the holidays. It went something like: ‘When he relocates on March 31st to the State House, Botswana’s 8th Vice President will make the...
I recently had an interesting discussion with a few acquitances about whether denying our children a taste of traditional Setswana life is unfair. I argued that some of us are products of urban migration and so are “victims” of circumstances...
‘I have never recommended or prescribed divorce. How could I as a minister of the Gospel? The Bible makes clear the way in which God views divorce. I have on more than one occasion counseled and aided women in leaving an abusive husband. - Paige...
Our society has moved on and has adopted all western values. Or is it a situation where we have partly remained traditional and partly a confused society? What has happened to our traditional communal character? We have become so westernised that we...
We have all heard wild stories of pastors who are apparently “chowing” female congregants like cows enjoying cud. These supposed pastors, some who are married, are practising adultery, infidelity and promiscuity in the name of the Lord. How do...
As the world rushes towards materialism, we gradually lose our sense of self or worse, we go further and further from the purpose for which we were created. Man – the splitting image of his Creator – arrives into this world crying. This must...
How the mighty have fallen! This past weekend’s Botswana Democratic Party’s Bulela Ditswe primary elections were a demonstration of democracy in action. We need to get accustomed to the painful truth that in life you win some, you lose...
The world in which I grew up is no more. This weekend I met with my boys – most of whom are now senior citizens - at the usual Motswere tree. I am not known to imbibe in alcoholic beverages of any kind, but every time I find myself with these boys,...
