What is Survival role if CKGR talks start?
To some extent, the almost total preoccupation of Survival International with the CKGR removals has drawn attention away from the broader discrimination that generally characterises treatment of Basarwa by the state and by much of Botswana society. On the other hand, it has taken intervention by an outside organisation to get the Botswana Government to give serious attention to any of the reasonable demands of Basarwa.Pula is just fine
Kindly allow me the opportunity to air my views as regards the intended proposal to a change of our currency. I was shocked, puzzled and left wondering after reading an article in the Monitor dated 05-12-2005 headlined Should Pula be Changed?, Only to learn later on that it is a pilot project of His Excellency, our own President. I, therefore, do not want to leave this unchallenged despite his reasoning. First of all I can just answer the simple question. No Sir Rra, Nyaa, which could neither give a toddler some kind of headache nor hiccup. Pula Le Thebe should be 1eft intact for life. The reasoning that it causes confusion to foreigners is neither here nor there. Shebeen Blues!
Ausi Maggie has been in business now for the past twenty years but has never won a prize for her enterprising ways. Yet everybody who is somebody knows for sure that the Nitty Gritty shebeen, of which she is the sole proprietor and Chief Executive Hostess, is the busiest and most patronized of all taverns in Southern Africa. The sanctity of life
It has been said that nothing shows the moral bankruptcy of society more than a disregard, for the sanctity of life. Is Botswana society, in particular, showing moral decay in the current events of passion killings, thefts, house freak-ins, burglaries, reckless disregard for road traffic laws and from? This question (issue) is an incredible opportunity for the Christian community to offer a compassionate alternative for those who seem to be crying out for aid and guidance.
