The role of language in the social construction of reality: the Masisi-Khama duel

Hence the intent of this analysis is to place the prevailing state of chaos inside the ruling party that observers perilously opine it has the potential to plunge the nation into civil unrest (which I believe is overstretched).

Consistently, two realities about Ian Khama have been ingrained in our brains: a monstrous, heartless devil that inhabits the caves and capable of exterminating the nation using militaristic or supernatural powers, or on the other hand, the archangel whose compassionate heart for the downtrodden people to be lifted from abject poverty is his sole objective.
