There's need for media to reform

One would expect a country like Botswana, which is making much progress economically at a faster pace than most African countries, to depart from traditional styles of broadcasting for the latest trends. I believe there is need for reform in order to discard what I would term 'old time practices', especially television wise.

I have noticed that the Botswana media seems to shy away from the use of the English language, especially when it conducts its interviews. Botswana, like Germany and France, is one country that I believe promotes its national language above all other languages. I do not have a problem with that because Botswana is a sovereign country and most, if not all, Batswana would prefer all their television programmes to be conducted in Setswana since it promotes its national values. But the crux is I am not advocating for a total overhaul of the entire system but I am simply saying that there is need to weigh the options here.
