Bogosi shouldn�t undermine modern democracy!

Being a young revolutionary, I was thrilled to hear from a traditional leader, my kgosi, that the institution of bogosi would soon become obsolete. I had always admired Ragonkgang, as Tshekedi was popularly known.

He was passionate about the progress of his people, particularly on universal education for his people, to the extent that he had begun a pilot project to take formal education to Basarwa into remote cattle-posts. I witnessed this project in operation during the holidays when I visited our cattle-post which was in a cattle-post cluster at Mokoswane near the Tobane village.  I even learnt a Sesarwa song, Basarwa children sang at school.
