This is a very frightening matter, because it touches on the very future of the country. If our work ethic is so low, to put it in other words, if workers in Botswana simply do not perform the work they are employed to perform, how can we ever hope to develop the country.
I come from a profession that is always under scrutiny by the public. Medical doctors, especially those who work for the public services (Government) are under constant criticism from members of the public, most of it rather harsh. The same applies to other health workers, especially nurses, who are also subject to tongue-lashing from the public all the time. The criticism for the health profession ranges from accusations of incompetence to those of negligence, rudeness as well of lack of compassion. This kind of criticism is almost universal for public services, but is more prominent in developing countries, particularly African countries. Take a newspaper in any country in Africa, and you will realise what I mean. The public health services (and education services) usually receive the bulk of criticism from the media and the public.
