Average Batswana have little or no money and the last thing they need is an extortionate service provider that their lives depend upon. Lest you think I speak from bitterness, let me advise that I don’t have a bill from them presently.

But many people have and daily, you see cases of their extortionate billing amongst people you know. And yes, my parents homestead has been there. We have had to pay bill upwards of P5, 000 even when my little sister was staying all alone. And by the way, I pay phone bills running into tens of thousands almost every other month.
