Heartwarming indeed

 One of the most heartwarming moments of this season was triggered by a 3 minutes tail end of a TV program last Sunday when two descendants of the German general LothaVon Trotha met the Herero chief Maherero to talk about, among other things, the German conducted genocide of the Herero people in Namibia. What made the moment so heartwarming is the fact that Germans are Hereros, after all. 

Yes, just as Russians are Bakhurutshe, so Germans are Baherero. Forget the color difference; the two belong to the same Anunnaki workgroup - Bathuli!

Our tribes and totems

When the gods genetically re-engineered man, they allocated man to work-groups which we call tribes/nations today. Man was insulated from the political alignments of the gods. Man was just a worker who had to be protected from being swamped by Homo Naledi.Such was the community that lived on and around Mapungubwe hill. Some guards (Balindi/Balete) were placed at the top of the hill, while others were deployed at the bottom. The principal responsibility of the guards on the hill-top was to drop (ku liga) rocks on any enemy who might have breached the lower defences.

The totems were mostly in the form of some animal that the assigned group was not allowed to eat or even touch. In the human survival sta...

Strange things in this world

Their "n" was composed of such Bantustans as BophutaTswana, Transkei, Ciskei, KwaZulu etc. We (rightly) vilified them and fought to destroy their unacceptable designs in our continent. Many people died in the process. Today people are advocating for the creation of another "n" state solution with "n=2" in Palestine/Israel. They call it a 2 state solution. Hendrick Vervoed must be dancing in his grave! Botswana: UDC vs IEC I listened to part of the judgement reading. An interesting point made was that if the UDC were granted the right to observe the voter registration, then other political actors (presumably, BDP, BCP etc) would also be so granted. Now this is strange, because the government insists that ONLY the 94 or so Basarwa who sued and won the right to stay in the...

What's wrong with Botswana cartoonists?

I mean here is a guy, on the eve of his becoming president, and he comes wearing the most ridiculous looking cap bedecked with medals; an absolute cartoonists paradise, surpassed if at all, only by Jean Bedell Bokasa's coat! And guess what, it's been two months now that he has been making decisions affecting all our lives, and not one cartoon of him wearing that ridiculous hat has appeared in the mainline press. All we get are almost exact replicas of his photoshoots, or selfies as they are called nowadays! Come on guys what do you think we live in - a Banana republic or what?
