Family remembers Gaetsewe-Part I

Having dedicated more time to this work from 2015, the family has since developed the abovementioned Ultimate Botswana, SA & African (UBSAA) Vision project, in attempted liaison with all influential individuals and organisations in Botswana and particularly in SA, to help to begin to realistically resolve all of Botswana’s, SA’s, Africa’s and the world’s fundamental problems. The UBSAA Vision project then formally urged Presidents Mokgweetsi Masisi, in August 2020, and Cyril Ramaphosa, in December 2021, essentially ‘... to help mobilise ... societies to begin to meaningfully and urgently tackle all of ... [their national] fundamental issues without fail ...’, as the SA President now appears to be doing with the impending SA National Dialogue (SAND) and preparatory Convention set for the 15th of this month. This SAND undertaking is now unfolding only after SA’s governing African National Congress’s (ANC’s) historic loss of electoral and political power, in May 2024, and Botswana’s BDP’s virtual obliteration at the end of October 2024. Given especially SA’s and Africa’s recent and overall histories as elucidated by modernity, this anticipated SA National Dialogue would seem to promise to be potentially epoch-making. It will be the very first time in all of human history that South Africans and Africans, as the most senior humans and parents of humanity who currently enjoy conditions of relative freedom and self-determination, begin to assess the pros and cons of the approx. 12,000-year-old Middle Eastern and European modernity which has already been biblically declared as the Original Sin and the work of the Devil himself.
In view of its said related extensive work, the UBSAA Vision project’s USA Vision component has now formally offered the SA President, as of the 5th of this month, to serve as the overarching framework for the said SAND which should ideally be permanent. The project further reported, with appropriate evidence provided, the seeming ineffectiveness and secretiveness it recently experienced with the SAND Task Team’s publicisation efforts, after the Task Team had apparently been in office for about a year. However, having hoped to work much more constructively and productively with the Task Team going forward, the project was rather amazed by the reported withdrawal, on the 8th instant, of seven of the Task Team’s key constituent Foundations, particularly as the withdrawal was said to have been for reasons which seemed to relate to the project’s said concerns. Overview of SA national dialogue’s (SAND’s) target issues The main problems which appear to have been identified in a 10/6/2025 SA presidential announcement as deserving the special attention of the SAND are ‘Poverty, unemployment ... inequality ... Crime, gender-based violence and corruption ...’. For the nature of the identified problems to be duly addressed, and/or for the very involvement of civil society to be worthwhile, the following complete but succinct historical appreciation of the said problems would appear to be essential:- South Africans’ reality of loss of natural control of their own lives: All South Africans and Africans generally have controlled and lived their purely natural and agriculture-centred lives based exclusively and entirely on The Total True Story of Humanity (TTTSoH) and the 14-billion-year-old Supreme Natural Law for up to about 12,000 to 300,000 years, and, thus, have only this way of simply beginning to reliably understand anything at all.
On the other hand, the SA Government and all other official organisations, as inventions of the artificial European modernity, have been established and operating exclusively on the basis of the said modernity’s approx. 3,000 years of The Highly Selective & Distorted Story of Humanity (THSDSoH) and its related approx. 30-year-old SA Constitution. Thus, all South Africans would appear to have, since their democracy of 1994, been expecting to continue with their purely natural and agriculture-centred lives, and to begin to seamlessly enjoy, equally, equitably and justly, all of the benefits of the limitless heaven-on-earth which has been brought about by only this artificial modernity, as they seem to understand that to be what they had always been and continue to be promised. Indeed, to date the SA Government appears to have unleashed the promised limitless heaven-on-earth upon a very small part of SA, possibly even better than had been anticipated, but, rather shockingly, with acceleratingly escalating inequality, inequity, crime and injustice, especially in terms of virtually all South Africans’ perceived complete loss of natural control of even their very own lives. This civil society perception of loss of control of their own lives appears to be a direct result of what seems to have always been at the very heart of modernity’s existential core of previously non-existent and anti-natural wealth creation. Instead of the artificial invention of employment having been developed in a very gradual, fair and equitable manner from its non-existence at the time of the Middle Eastern discovery of agriculture and limitless wealth, about 12,000 years ago, slavery appears to have begun to grow very gradually, extending eventually into hegemony, with these two evil practices eventually being blatantly central to the first largescale and apex manifestation of Middle Eastern modernity, about 4,000 years ago. Europeans have since, in the last 3,000 years or so, consolidated, institutionalised, officialised and globally propagated the same modernity, but with its key ingredients of slavery and hegemony having been transformed into the most subtle and insidious forms to ensure that maximum wealth is derived, no longer locally from Europe and/or the Middle East, but globally for the greatest benefit of only an infinitesimal proportion of humanity. This appears to have resulted in the Christian Bible seemingly declaring this modernity as not only the Original Sin and the work of the Devil himself.
This biblical declaration appears to have further identified especially European modernity as the sole reason for the Creator’s only begotten Son having begun to address this reported evil by spending all of his 33 years of life presumably at the very heart of the only region of Planet Earth where all of this apparent abomination had been going on. There appears to have since ensued a gradually evolving and related avalanche of unprecedented global negativities in the form of religious and cultural wars between Islam and the West, which seem to have begun with the early Muslim conquests of the 7th century; the legendary Robin Hood English phenomenon which appears to have its roots around the 13th century; organised criminal syndicates, which appear to have evolved more substantively over the last 200 years or so, and seem to be merely taking their cue from modernity’s deemed criminal global and national political governance operations; the last approx. 150 years of the Human Extinction Lethal Legacy (HELL) which began with World War I and now manifests in increasingly frequent natural disasters; the East/West political conflict, the origins of which seem to be traceable back to the 1917 Russian October Revolution; the Islam/West religious and cultural and East/West political conflicts which appear to have been playing out in Africa since 2007; SA’s and Africa’s reportedly growing criminal and/or commercial infrastructural damage, ‘construction mafia’ and other extortion phenomena; and even a significantly controversial case of a Mr Luigi Nicholas Mangione of USA who is alleged to have assassinated a top health insurance company CEO outside a Manhattan NY hotel on 4/12/2024, but appears to be celebrated by many as a modern-day Robin Hood and/or Christian icon.
In other words, Botswana, SA, African and global civil societies having apparently lost their natural control of their very own lives to modernity, seem to have increasingly been at least intuitively aware of, and already reacting accordingly to, the global Pyramid or Ponzi Scheme of this European modernity. A cascade of negative reaction from the base of this Pyramid or Ponzi Scheme now appears to be evolving, with the clear intention of ensuring that those at that base duly enjoy as much of the benefits of this perceived fraudulent Scheme as those at its top, as soon as possible and by hook or by crook. Public warnings of predictable negative global consequences of European modernity In addition to modernity being biblically declared the Original Sin and the work of the Devil himself, similar public warnings in relation to the globally propagated version of this same European modernity seem to have been sounded more recently as follows:- At the end of both his 1994 ‘Long Walk To Freedom’ book as well as his official public life, SA’s founding democratic President Nelson Mandela seems to have described his last discovery therein as ‘... the secret that after climbing a great hill [which had taken South Africans all of 342 years of their attempts, the ANC all of the first 82 years of its existence, and Mandela himself all of 50 years of self-sacrifice, to surmount] ... there are many more hills to climb ..... [on] that long road to freedom ... [before his, SA’s, Africa’s and the world’s] long walk is ... yet [and truly] ended’.
The existential criticality of the work of the said UBSAA Vision project to Botswana’s modern governance function seems to have been presciently recognised by Botswana’s then President QKJ Masire, through his Presidential Task Group Convenor and subsequent Minister of Finance & Development Planning, Mr Baledzi Gaolathe, in the first paragraph of the ‘Introduction, The Need for a National Vision’ of Botswana’s Vision 2016 document of 1996, as it stated that ‘Botswana finds itself in a period of history when social attitudes and values around the world are changing at an unprecedented rate. Within the country itself, this has been accelerated by the pace of urbanisation, and increasing contact with diverse foreign cultures. In the future, the people of Botswana [and, presumably, of all other African countries especially] will need to adapt to the challenges of global society while retaining the positive aspects of their cultural values that distinguish them from other nations.’ It would seem to be as a result of the past approx. 150 years of humanity knocking at the very gates of the said Human Extinction Lethal Legacy (HELL), that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has in the last few years been warning that ‘humanity is waging war on nature ... . Making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. This must be the top priority for everyone everywhere ...’. South Africa’s 1994 democracy seems to have been the official beginning of the ‘inflection point in human history [between especially the immediate past and future 3,000-year periods]’, towards a nirvana which world-renowned Swedish youth environmental activist Greta Thunberg, FIFA head Gianni Infantino and former USA President Joe Biden appear to have been clamouring for over the past few years.
However, all of the owners and influencers of modernity seem to have always been at a complete loss as to how to begin to set the modern world on that desperately needed new trajectory. USA vision project’s proposed realistic resolutions in brief On the other hand, Botswana, SA and Africa generally appear to be well placed in more ways than one to begin to realistically resolve all of their modern fundamental problems, and to help initiate and lead similar resolutions beyond into the bargain. All of these essential and realistic resolutions of modernity’s fundamental problems revolve initially around, especially, South Africans themselves, with the wholly transparent, scientific and professional assistance of their judiciary hopefully in liaison with the African Commission and Court on Human and People’s Rights, beginning to fundamentally unravel all naturally logical and ethical flaws of their national Constitution which are significant and fatal, by fully anchoring their Constitution sustainably for the ultimate-term in the Supreme Natural Law through The Total True Story of Humanity (TTTSoH) of the USA Vision project. These structural resolutions are to begin to be centred on the following strategic Africanisation and naturalisation modifications to, especially, SA’s modernity’s foundational intellectual framework, with the said proposals being seriously ventilated, debated and finetuned as reasonably required without hindrance to their necessary urgent progress:- Public Ventilation Of Proposed Realistic Resolutions: Public ventilation of the proposed resolutionary measures, which would be based on a SAND which is ideally a permanent and fundamental feature of SA’s democracy, is to proceed as follows:- Setting up of channels from which the SAND’s key resource publication is to be made available to all citizens throughout the societal engagement. Promotion through all media platforms of as much public ventilation of the USA Vision project’s proposals as possible.
Lodging and sustaining this existentially critical national matter with the SA Constitutional Court, and also with the African Union’s Commission and Court on Human and People’s Rights. It will be essential to ensure that maximum attention of societal engagement is prioritised to always favour demographic groups which have been peripheral and least represented democratically, in line with the following reducing order of importance:- Children generally, and retirees from 60 years of age and above, would need to receive the greatest attention, with their demonstrable and full appreciation and choice of alternative resolutions serving as the primary guide for the final choice and adoption of proposals. All related physical face-to-face meetings would need to be presided over with appropriate government assistance by this demographic. This should help to anchor and establish the societal interaction quite efficiently.
