Alcohol is part of our culture - Kgosikgolo Mosadi

Listening to Balete traditional leader, Kgosikgolo Mosadi Seboko, waxing lyrical about alcohol last week one would have thought the Kgosi would go further to add that there is no need for government to keep on introducing levies to fight alcoholism.

She did not. The Kgosi, who also  appears on billboards this week as one of the shining lights cautioning the Botswana society against irresponsible drinking, was  a guest speaker at the launch of  Botswana Alcohol Industry Association(BAIA) at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC).

The BAIA is made up of  six alcoholic beverages suppliers in Botswana namely: Kgalagadi Breweries Limited (KBL), Distell Botswana, Botswana Breweries (BB), Heineken International, Namibia Breweries and Diageo. At a time when government has upped its battle against alcohol abuse by  hiking prices, the Kgosi  came  up  with  a different solution to the problem by  calling for stronger family values and stricter child upbringing.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
