Let’s stop GBV

Batswana are increasingly becoming an angry and violent nation as depicted by cases of gender-based violence (GBV), which mirror the nation’s fury. It’s the umpteenth time that we make this appeal.

Almost every week, the police record cases of men cruelly battering their loved ones to death, and in some cases, then take their own lives, leaving the surviving relatives in incessant pain.

Therefore, we would like to call on Batswana to exercise restraint and deal with pain emanating from a love relationship that has gone wrong in a better way. We also want to believe that before a man executes the last fatal blow, he would have planned this fatality over time. Some of them would have long exhibited a potential to kill or just strange behaviour towards their loved ones, especially when things do not go well.
