Is Flogging Good For Botswana?

Let me make it clear that no flogging will be administered to an innocent person unless we say our kgotlas are run by made and crazy people. To the best of my knowledge, flogging is done on a wrong doer so as to try to help him reduce his lawlessness.

We, therefore, agree that where there is no wrong doing there will be no flogging. If one does not want to be flogged, he should stop being a nuisance. Throughout the history of Batswana, BaKalanga and other related tribes flogging has always been used as a way of punishing wrong doers. The whole idea of flogging wrong doers is to reform and not to fix the culprits. This was, therefore, done within laid down regulations by specially chosen and responsible persons under the supervision of senior kgotla officials.
