Blues on Boipuso

It is at the end of this moonshine that we replay the tape recordings of the fraud and forgery that was our independence. It seems at such moment propitious to ask, what were the expectations of independence? In other words, what did Batswana in their different merafe want? And even more apposite, what did they get? A constitutional framework they could not have made proper sense oaf, a corpus of a document on the table, scrumpled together by those who represented the many that could not (re)present themselves.

September 30 is the supposed national birthday; for on this day in 1966, the biggest lie of the land was acted out with drama, a glaring irony, pomp and ostentation and yet it was stereotype in more ways than one.
