All foreign guests, welcome to Botswana 50th independence celebration!

The flame of independence torch is passing through cattle-posts, hamlets, villages and towns in a race to the golden jubilee celebration in the capital, Gaborone. At every overnight station, the torch - Molelo wa Kgolagano, has been welcomed with ululations, dance, and excitement; outsiders watching the count-down to the big day on national television, must be green with envy, watching.

On 30/9/2016 it will be 50 years to the day since Botswana attained its independence; Batswana will be celebrating the feel-good of their country’s sovereign status. Invited outsiders to the occasion, should be looking forward to witness the pride, prestige and splendor of living in Botswana, a country envied by others.First-time visitors are probably suffering anxiety and insomnia already, in anticipation of flight to the looming festivity in a foreign capital. Botswana, an African country is famous for her un-African outlook, unique in the continent.

The country broke ranks with the front runners to independence; whereas the norm was to adopt a one-party democratic system as a standard form of democracy, Botswana opted for multiparty democracy.

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