The trick is to be truly apolitical

One of the reasons why big companies take the Babusi Ward Development Committee in Gaborone South seriously is because the committee takes itself seriously.

With a vision document, bank account, catchy logo, sub-committees, a stable of expert advisors and plans to have a website, this committee is one of a kind. When the Babusi WDC has gone to organisations like the Botswana Development Corporation, Motor Vehicle Assurance, Rural Industries Innovation Centre (RIIC) and Golden Fruits to ask for money, it hasn't come back empty handed.
