Let's show botho in victory, loss

When I responded to Tshepo Molwane's article about Rowe and Zebras and asked BFA to let go of Colywn Rowe, honestly I didn't expect them to do that because I have always viewed them as selfish and self-serving, but I applaud them for this brave and intelligent effort.

The purpose of my writing today is to congratulate the Zebras on their victory against Mozambique, they did us proud and showed the skeptical ones that dismissed Bra Stan and Ken, and to respond to anonymous letter that appeared in Monitor.

Our victory against Mozambique should have given a lot of Batswana a direction of what collective effort can do, we NEED to believe in ourselves in such a way that even insurmountable challenges we face with hope because we know we have support. Bra Stan [Zebras' coach, Stanley Tshosane] and Ken [his assistant, Kenneth Mogae] didn't bring a sangoma to Lekidi, they talked to those guys and told them that they believed in them and what did we get, a spirited performance and 3 vital  points. So Batswana betsho let's try to believe in our own for a while. An anonymous letter writer talks about how Bra Stan failed BDF X1 and now he is going to fail the nation without even giving him a chance yet he wanted Rowe to be given a chance to lead us into dire situations. Bra Stan has given us hope, what has Rowe given us? Bra Stan and Ken are taking us to Angola, where was Rowe taking us? The conditions and environment that they are operating under right know are very different from the ones they were previously operating and anonymous purports that they have failed, I beg to differ. Bra Stan has built this team and that's when Jelusic Veselin came to lead the team assisted by Bra Stan, so the success of Veselin and Bra Stan are intertwined. Sometimes I wonder whether Batswana are going to believe we can. I mean to dismiss Major David Bright after he did a sterling performance with Santos is quite amazing, he came close to winning the biggest league in Africa and you still dismiss him?

No room for perjury

It seems some government accounting officers, sworn to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing else but the truth" before Almighty God, may have deliberately lied during the committee’s vital work. If proven, this is not merely unprofessional; it is perjury, a serious criminal offence and it strikes at the very heart of responsible government.The PAC’s role is fundamental. After each financial year, it painstakingly examines how public...
