Jamataka Presented Picture Of Perfect Patience

I anxiously thumb down lifts as I stand under a mosu tree that has been turned into a hitchhiking spot to Jamataka, Makobo and Natale villages.

After nearly two hours of failure to get a ride, I decide a donkey cart will do. It is a tumult as people and cars are in haste to polling stations at Borolong Village, a sign of a responsible citizenship. The day that many Batswana have been waiting for has finally arrived, conveniently on a Friday that has been declared a public holiday in order to facilitate voting.
