The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Supreme Leader, King Khama IV of Bamagwato (a.k.a Lt-Gen Ian Khama Seretse Khama) seems pretty busy these days. After anointing his younger brother as the heir to his Serowe constituency, much to the chagrin of several BDP hopefuls, (Ke Domi ya rona le bana ba rona!) the King went to Francistown to read the riot act to some party ‘dissidents’ accused of disloyalty.Children’s Rights Are Human Rights
Botswana ratified the Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) on 14 March 1994. This Convention is the most universally accepted human rights instrument in history. Every country in the world, except the United States, has ratified it. It is also the first international human rights treaty, which recognises indigenous peoples as a group who experience general discrimination, which hampers their rights, which are enshrined in the CRC.Clumsy Recruit Appointed By His Father Brigadier At Age 24
I am back. The leave was short and sharp. I craved a little intellectual nourishment, so I retreated and moved away momentarily. I fled far from the despondent multitudes; the troubled and troubling faces of unemployed women and men forced into prostitution and crime. Poverty. I wanted to commune in isolation and silence; to get away.
