It is a cancerous evil that threatens to consume and put many an African country asunder. We are no exception and despite the sometimes flattering indices Botswana is right there in the mix. Someone once defined corruption as the art of turning public service into a lucrative side hustle. Yet another one called it the fine art of making personal gain appear to be in the public interest. However you define it the bottom-line is that it is an art and some are more skillful and adept at it more than others. They're the pirates of the national coffers, always on the lookout for treasure, even if it means plundering the national treasury. These corrupt people are like little sneaky kids with a sweet tooth always trying to get their hands on the cookies before they get caught.
Corruption got so bad that it pushed tenderpreneurs into the corrupreneurs’ zone. The morphing happened quicker than a cat batting a dangling toy. Tenderpreneurs decided that tenderpreneuring was slower than a tortoise waddling through peanut butter and decided to procure more oil and grease to lubricate the whole system turning instantly into corrupreneurs. That way they will be able to land multiple tenders from corrupt officers with bewildered bank accounts and deputy sheriffs breathing down their necks.
