Bring back the Kgosikgolo

Things are falling apart. We no longer know what is happening, or what direction we are taking, or whether what we hear everyday is true. The winter is no longer cold, and summers are too hot. Rains are delayed until the last minute, and children as young as 11 years are giving birth. But its not all gloom and doom, the future is orange. What is even more inspiring about our beloved country is that opposition parties have unveiled their First Ladies. This is a good development that cannot go unrecognised – this step will promote the value of family in our country. We are still waiting to hear from Domi who their First Lady will be. But there is one individual that is missing and we should do everything in our power to have him back. Even if it means through a petition, a ballot, or a bullet.

 

A lot has happened since the departure of the Kgosikgolo three years ago, one of them was the 2013 drought that claimed a lot of our livestock. So cruel was the drought that only a Kgosi of his stature could help find a solution – make rain. Then came the sun behaving strangely some time in September. Some people claimed all sorts of knowledge, such as eclipse, whilst others were saying Badimo were trying to communicate their unhappiness. This year is also full of surprises, people eating grass in an effort to communicate with their maker. Whether it was a blessing or curse, we recently witnessed the appointment of four ministers for education, far exceeding the Constitution, which very constitution the Kgosikgolo tried to challenge.
