It would have been irresponsible of any faith leader to ignore beseeching fellow worshippers to pray for Botswana, when all the hallmarks of a crisis looming were obvious.

Who could ignore the antagonistic utterances from opposing camps during the build-up to the election-day and how a bleak future was painted for us, and surely who could not heed words that had every sign of an uncompromising stance to accept defeat at the poll? Who would have been foolishly bold to dismiss repeated media reports showing a nation approaching its end? Certainly the events pointed in the direction of a nation sitting on a time-bomb waiting to explode in our faces.
