Mr President, We Need Jobs

In the villages and far off places, the situation is beyond comprehension. Batswana are struggling, and our government seems to be at loss as to what to do. As in the past administration of Ian Khama, President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s government focus is on youth entrepreneurship - young graduates should start businesses and hire their peers.

Really? Are we saying our youth, without even basic entrepreneurship training, can do what our government and big businesses have failed to do? Create employment when they themselves cannot be hired for lack of experience?
