'Ha di lwa di gata marole' is a painful Setswana expression equivalent to the English saying when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. This simply emphasises that when a couple fights, it is children who will bear the brunt.

Advancing his reasons, he said the children came to him in December and his family would not allow them back to Botswana, as they wanted the wife’s family to apologise for having said he abandoned the children in Botswana.
