Reflections of my life journey, constitutional review in Botswana and African leadership challenges - (part I)

My life journey is long. By way of introduction and for present purposes, it is sufficient to say I am a native of Bobonong village in Botswana. I was born to peasant parents.

Life appeared blissful then: we were free to roam the forests to catch birds and other animals for sustenance; splash in the streams and rivers, breathe clean air, and spend peaceful nights counting the stars on the Milky Way. Wild fruits were also in abundance. We were a close-knit family and shared everything that came our way. Being the last born in a family of 13, I was spoiled to the core.
