BOFEPUSUs response to SONA

We reckon that many speeches of the State Of The Nation Address (SONA) have been made. They were made with sheer brilliance, but in reality, it comes out as mere rhetoric. What is critical is to look at what is happening on the ground rather than the beauty of the many speeches made.

A priority to Government should be to ensure that social justice is central to achieving equitable and sustainable growth for all towards development of people as human beings. This is so because the proceeds of Botswana’s economy benefit few people whereas the many are on the margins.

That is why we have the working poor, who go to work everyday but in abject poverty, some Batswana living in the economic pains to the extent that they have become hopeless, helpless and only waiting for death to part them from the miseries and sorrows of life in this country. This is highly disturbing in a country blessed with so many natural resources ,  a rich country with poor people.
