Okavango development and its abject poverty

The visibility of this matter is everywhere due to lack of developments since 1966. In 50 years of Independence this region has not seen the dawn of independence as other regions (by the way, why rich regions of Botswana are now poorer than those we knew were poor??)

Okavango, Ngami and Chobe to mention a few, they are now poor and getting poorer year after year why? I remember one of Mmegi Newspaper staffer once had this to say; - “even from the skies, Okavango’s poverty is clear.” by Boniface Keabetswe – Mmegi 11/09/15.
