The media stands for the rights of any downtrodden people, we stand for human rights. We stand for our democratic ideals that have brought us this far, and will not shy away from shouting it from the rooftops, when and if we see the virtues that built this nation being trampled upon with impunity. In that regard it does not matter who provokes our ire. For our anger is the people’s anger, only we make it more noticeable, more audible, and more readable.
In the last few months especially, we have been accused of writing more and more critically about the government and the man at its helm, President Khama, who has gone on record to express his hatred of us. And that hatred is inspired by nothing other than the fact he does not want to face the truth. It is a hatred constantly watered by puppets, some of whom have even gleefully and publicly declared that being malope is what they were born to be. Sadly that is not what the President’s father Seretse Khama would have approved of. Please see our extract ‘Seretse Speaks to Ian from the Grave’.
