Speaker of Parliament, Honourable Phandu Tombola Chaha Skelemani, Your Excellency the President, Dr Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, Your Honour the Vice-President, Honourable Slumber Tsogwane, The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Honourable Pono Moatlhodi, who is also Member of Parliament for Tonota, Leader of the Opposition, Honourable Dithapelo Keorapetse, who is also Member of Parliament for Selebi-Phikwe West, Honourable Members of Parliament, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen.

1). Honourable Speaker, we are thankful for being given this opportunity to address this august Assembly as Bakalanga for a fair constitutional dispensation.

2). We are here today because when an announcement was made in 2019 that there would be a comprehensive constitutional review, we started engaging to crystallise what we wanted to achieve out of this exercise. Our grievances have always been there, but we have always held out hoping that something like this would come along. So, we had to grasp this with both hands.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
