It is reasonable to expect some people who take news seriously to not bother watching the state broadcaster's evening updates on what three men got up to that day. There is never a news bulletin, if that's what we can call these orgies of self-adulation by President Ian Khama, Vice President Mompati Merafhe or Presidential Affairs Minister Mokgweetsi Masisi. It is as if the nation is being taken through some weird experiment to gauge how much people can take the mundane details of three politicians' daily schedules before they lose their minds. It would seem that our top leadership, under Khama, has a warped understanding of what news really entails. But that is another discussion for another day.Every news bulletin features Khama. Khama donating blankets. Khama opening a one-roomed donation to a poverty-stricken family. Khama here. Khama there. Khama everywhere.
Khama meeting a pauper who collapses into a heap of extreme emotion before His Excellency. Khama in the presence of desperate souls to whom they look for salvation.
