The Indian community must reflect Racism cannot be privatised and has no place in Botswana

It is bringing toxicity to national socio-economic discourse and must be attended to, as a matter of urgency. Some friends of mine, for whom the coinage, “clever blacks”, would be appropriate, blame the whole problem on Batswana.

I have flatly declined the charge and continue so to do. The average, hardworking Motswana, drowned under the inflow of foreign capital. The global economy is a money game, and there is a need to protect indigenous citizens against economic displacement and marginalisation by big capital. Batswana are simply asking for fair play.
