Are protest demostrations childish?

President Ian Khama was also on Btv to lambast the organisers of the Friday protest march in Gaborone.

The reaction to the water crisis march by President Ian Khama and his Minister is certainly surprising, absolutely intriguing and interesting in the extreme. What is it that is so childish and uncalled for in a public protest against a government that is failing to deliver services to people who have voted it into power? Isn’t this what democracy - ‘government of the people by the people for the people,’ is all about?’
