When I first wrote to you, some people said I would “disappear”. Although nervous, I was a bit excited because I’m a sucker for “adventorous experiences”. Imagine just disappearing into thin air and my pretty face plastered around with a big ‘Missing’ sign. Wow, that would make for a great mystery puzzle and we’d have to call in Mma Ramotswe to help find me. Imagine the disappointment that would set when I re-appear a few weeks later and everyone finds out I had gone to visit a secret loverat the mines in Marikana! Heish! This disappearing business must be a figment of someone’s fertile imagination. Wena, you are a good guy; you respect freedom, especially freedom of expression, right? Some people have said “Your highness” can turn into a fly and could even disappear among crowds...Maaka! If you had magical powers, they would be used to improve and develop the country and the lives of Batswana further instead of the opposite, right?! Or maybe they are used to churn the never-ending supply of blankets?!
Some of your loyalists have barraged me with criticism and said that I have a negative “agenda”. They also say I like tshele. Which Motswana doesn’t like tshele?! One of your loyal individual even said I’m a ‘lost entity’. I suspect he’s confusing me with the popnase girls who entertain them at lodges and hotels. Anyways, I don’t have an agenda you dearest Mmuso! O tloga o simolla go ntima di-tendara. I’m a nice lady. To think that I would wake up and attack you out-of-the-blue is nonsensical.
