Orange 'aliens' invade F/town

Pedestrians and motorists alike have been left gaping at the spectacle since the beginning of last week. Last Wednesday morning when I was on my way to the Francistown High Court, my attention was grabbed by a crowd of people looking at the figurines posing in various stances along the A1 road next to Thapama Hotel. When I peeped through the crowd, I realised that what I had perceived as lifeless figurines were indeed humans wearing head-to-toe swimming costumes.

The figurines, or these humans, attract on-lookers who cannot help but stand and stare. With their stances, they will stand as if stopping cars, dancing, answering the phone, kids playing they steal people's attention even drivers.When I asked about these figures, I was met by complete silence. A wave of the hand is the only response I got from these figures, as they changed poses.
