Celebrate But Remember The 510 000 Poor People As we celebrate 40 years of lopsided prosperity, we should not ignore the vigil of over 510 000 mourners whose souls and spirit have been totally obliterated by the pain and violence of poverty.Issues In Education
'Can Our Vision Be Attained?' There is generally a gap between what people say they are going to do and what they are able to accomplish. This is to be expected.

"Afrika continues to be economically exploited and abused and its checkered history of so-called self rule is used as evidence of an intrinsic inability of Afrikans to govern themselves...we demand the creation of a continent fit for Afrikan people in which we can discover and develop skills and resources that are sustainable and in keeping with our best Afrikan traditions" - Linda Bellos (1995), an Afrikan British activist with the Afrikan Reparation Movement and, regrettably, also a lesbian feminist.Supremacy Of Botswana Constitution In Football Matters
From the onset I wish to declare my professional interest. I am not a legal mind.
