Monuments worth visiting

Mmegi discovered that some of the most controversial statues are found at the University of Botswana (UB).
The most prominent monument at the institution is the 'Motho le Motho Kgomo' statue, which was erected in honour of the 'Motho le motho kgomo' campaign that saw the establishment of the university in 1982.

The statue showcases a man wearing an overall and driving a cow branded UB 6. Like a typical elderly modisa (herd-boy), the man is holding a walking stick and a knobkerrie. It is apparent that whoever came up with the concept then never foresaw the controversy that it would stir in the future. Recently, some women activists complained that the monument does not truly capture the true spirit of the self-help campaign because it excludes women, who have undoubtedly contributed to the development of the institution from early days.
