Time We Respect Sanctity Of Life

The society is faced with a monstrous challenge of individuals who seem to have lost respect for human life. Botswana used to be regarded as one of the safest countries in the world, but nowadays crime statistics, including murder seem to be skyrocketing.

Just last week a number of innocent people were murdered as a result of petty crime, arguments or whatever circumstances that drove these murderers to take life. It is common knowledge that Botswana has a small population, and if murder cases continue to rise, the country will ultimately lose productive individuals, which in turn will affect the country’s progress. It is becoming common for petty thieves to kill for items such as cellphones, money, and other household electronics.
