Spice up your porridge

To date, sorghum is a principle source of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals. It is also a versatile cereal that is easily digestible by children. Farming is a birth right in Botswana, pastoral and arable, with the latter being more common across tribes and districts as a sustenance measure of old, coupled with Batswana's dependence on rainfall.

Sorghum (mabele), maize (mmidi/mmopo) and sweet reed (sugar cane) are the more common crops farmed by Batswana, including watermelons (magapu) and groundnuts (manoko). Sorghum is used for food, fodder, and the production of alcoholic beverages. It is drought and heat-tolerant, especially important in arid regions and is an important food crop in Africa, said to be the fifth most essential cereal crop grown in the world. Sechaba Sorghum is proof of the importance of a name, Sechaba directly translates to Nation. Something they have set out to do, with #FeedingOurNation as their signature.
