How 'free and fair' are 'regular' elections in Botswana?

USAID, in recent years more keen on collective regional projects rather than strictly national undertakings, also takes an interest in checking on the health of democracy in the regions it assists.  Some of those are: -

*Regular free and fair elections
*An independent judiciary
* An independent and free press
*Freedom from corruption
* Openness and accountability in governance
* Equitable distribution of  wealth
* Gender equity
*Respect for minority groups
