Batswana WW II veterans indeed operated arms

In the story, Thebe, who is from the village of Kumakwane asserted that Batswana soldiers used firearms during WW II and his assertions attracted a number of comments on (Mmegi) Facebook with a significant number of people pointing out their reservations about the story while on the other hand, a good number wrote in support.
"Lie," said the first detractor to respond to the online article.

"Ba ne ba apeile in the makeshift kitchens-They were cooks in the makeshift kitchen," agreed another.
"The truth is they were in different sections, there were cooks and those who carried firearms," said one reader."I am proud of those veterans-the legacy must live on," said yet another person in support.
