Otherwise it should just be posted online and Dr. Thapelo Matsheka should go to Bluetree and play golf. True, we like the pomp and ceremony that comes with the event but in the end, it is all useless and a waste of security personnel that should be patrolling Mogoditshane. Kagiso Thutwe will not be there anymore with his strange, colourful outfits and surely Mma Tshireletso might not be there with her catchy headgear. To make matters worse, Bogolo Kenewendo will likely not be there either; so what will really be there to see. I know for a fact they will not deploy female soldiers on ceremonial horses; only ugly male soldiers and policemen. Of course we know Dr. Matsheka and we know Dr. Edwin Dikoloti. My good friend Tumisang Healy was in my office the other day.
I was listening to the President’s interview in Davos. One thing you cannot take away from Maru-a-Pula schooled kids is that they speak very good English and our President is one such. What more, they know how to hold their own in front of the camera which is why I want my children to go that school. Our President was of course in his element but neither his nor Dr. Matsheka’s English will resolve our unemployment situation. My good friend Edward Tswaipe was right when he said that unemployment is Botswana’s single biggest threat to national security. At the rate we are going, we will soon have crime committed by educated thugs who will be a nightmare to law enforcement. We might just end up like one fellow African country the name of which is best left unsaid.
