What I had made, yielded a medium batch and I then curated a Charcuterie board that looked too pretty to eat and will most certainly be part of my next spread when I host the girls or do the first table talk for 2025. With a date set for Women’s...
I overlooked her mentioning that it was a Birthday Cake. Honestly, I am better off not having had full awareness that it was a birthday cake. I might have chickened out of doing it. But this red velvet Inkomazi cake is fool proof. Baking is a science...
It turned out he wasn’t quite into it. Imagine. After all that effort. Nobody warned us about this age, bathong! Anyhow, pumpkin is typically larger, rounder in shape, with a thicker, more ridged skin and a slightly stringier flesh compared to a...
I think growing up for most of us it was cool to say ‘purchase an automobile’ which was actually simply ‘buy a car’. This has since faded like Sly Stallone’s six pack and is firmly in the rearview mirror. Yes, language keeps evolving but it...
Countless celebrations have come through the track as athletics has recorded the most significant moments in Botswana's 58 year history. No code comes close to athletics in delivering decisive moments, with all four Olympic Games medals won since...
Although the Pretoria peace agreement brought temporary calm, the rifts between the Ethiopian federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) remain deep. Instead of securing lasting peace, the agreement has internally divided...
That is how schooling experience felt in the last half of the 1970s. The school system was less tolerant of anything coming outside itself . The school even changed the names of our parents and grandparents gave us and replaced them with its own...
It’s less ‘follow the money” and more “chase the missing decimal points.’ Unlike before it has not been given a Setswana name like the previous ones such as the Kgabo Commission. It is simply: the forensic audit. I think this is meant to...
. You can change the faces but it seems, not the modus operandi at the Lekidi Football Centre. In Animal Farm, when Mr Jones left, there was hope for change, but before the book ends, the old habits return in even more ruthless fashion. At the BFA,...
The world is vast yet close, magical yet real—clouds are castles, and puddles hold galaxies. Every question is an adventure, every answer a doorway to more mystery. I have no fear of the unknown, only delight in discovery.At five years old, my...
It is desire for resources that triggers political interests. Control over the natural resources has been a significant determinant of war. Rentier-state theory argues that countries rich in natural resources tend to experience higher levels of...
The plague of under-achievement of schools has been a topical issue, which has preoccupied educators and other critical stakeholders for a prolonged period of time yet there has not been any visible signs of recovery or concrete and appropriate...
