Bars and nightclubs: a potpourri of entertainment and crime

FRANCISTOWN: Entertainment is one of the fundamental needs that human beings cannot live without.

In fact, life would not be complete without pleasure, something an American professor of computer science Randy Rausch, noted, writing that, “never underestimate the importance of having entertainment (sic).” But entertainment should also be balanced with safety as legendary American psychologist Abraham Maslow has discovered in his hierarchy of needs. Maslow placed safety as one of the things that people should have wherever they are having fun. Of course, in the process of enjoyment, criminal elements are never too far off, threatening lives of others by forcefully stealing their property and at times physically attacking to inflict pain, and even causing death on patrons.  Every once in a while, someone will have a negative experience in and around the bars and nightclubs in Botswana.

This can be caused by a variety of things from poor service, to physical intimidation and many other aspects, which can affect a great night out. On many occasions this can be down to the individual or outside forces but sometimes it is the venue that is at fault.

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