Miss Botswana Fashion Show lacked elegance Maya Roze Dialogues  |  Maya Roze Fact. Hosting an event is talent and skill, you do not give the mic to the next loud-mouth bobble head cutie! I am livid. The Miss Botswana Fashion Show was good but it lacked the elegant, suave nature that a fashion show should have. It was organised somewhat well enough for a mediocre show.

Let’s now pump money straight into clubs YoungManPal Uncut  |  Thuso Palai Last week saw the launch of two football sponsorships. Debswana finally unveiled the long awaited and long talked about sponsorship of the National First Division League and Barclays Bank launched their Kabelano Charity Cup sponsorship.

The Botswana combi experience On The Flipside  |  Keletso Thobega Combis are a standard feature in Botswana; as common as seeing women walking in the scorching sun or hawkers lined up along roads. These combis are not the prettiest or most organised but they are cheap, easily accessible and get commuters to their destinations. Posted on: Tuesday, 16 April, 2013

Who killed humour? Speaking of Which  |  Chekwane Our country is boring these days if you asked me. Unlike back in the day, people of today are too serious and take everything personal. I blame politics and religion! Today you cannot say anything without anyone seeking to sniff your political allegiance or check if you congregate at Bread Of Life o...

The language of insults! Speaking of Which  |  Chekwane Hello folks. Today I’m not going to say anything bad about the president. When it comes to insulting the president, you take the trophy! I heard the kinds of things you said last week, when you were discrediting his first term as president. But we all know that that was you being you, people of this...

Why do many women fall for ‘bad boys’? On The Flipside  |  Keletso Thobega Many women often claim that there aren’t enough fitting suitors yet there are many decent men. For some reason many women tend to gravitate towards men who use, abuse or mistreat them. I call this the ‘bad boy syndrome’. Surely you may have observed that when a man is nice, some women don’t want him... Posted on: Wednesday, 10 April, 2013

All people look, a few see Maya Roze Dialogues  |  Maya Roze I believe in change and it believes in me. So shall it work for only, if you accept it. My main fascination must be the fear of the unknown because it hinders change. The fear of the unknown is like salt in hot water, stir it up enough and it will become part of that liquid. You can’t drink it unle... Posted on: Wednesday, 10 April, 2013

All the best to the Under 17 boys, but… YoungManPal Uncut  |  Thuso Palai I must say I was very disappointed by the turn of events before the National Under 17 team jetted out of the country for the Africa Junior Championships starting this weekend in Morocco. The evident rancour between the BFA and the head coach does not augur well for the team as they prepare for this ... Posted on: Wednesday, 10 April, 2013

Opposition must change tact- Letlhakeng West suggests Crossroads   |  Lawrence Ookeditse Letlhakeng West was so hotly contested that the opposition kept crying out that there was lots of foul play at hand from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). In response, BDP activists said it was all a sign of a people overwhelmed by their assault: that when people are under pressure, naturally the... Posted on: Tuesday, 09 April, 2013
