Botswana is sold for honorary doctorate degree handouts

In the 1800s part of an area called Botswana today (the Tuli Block) was said to have been given away to the colonialists in exchange for a bottle of whisky.

Today we witness Botswana being sold for less than a dime. The country is virtually being sold in exchange for pieces of paper they call honorary doctorate degrees and silly little fake academic gowns.

Surprisingly the honorary PhDs are dished out mostly by external academic institutions, some of which don’t even offer undergraduate degrees. The targets are who is who in influential and powerful political positions with close links to the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) - Dr Festus Mogae, Dr Margaret Nasha, Dr Ponatshego Kedikilwe, Dr Pelonomi Venson- Moitoi, Dr Unity Dow, and Lt. Gen. Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
