In post-colonial Africa, most of the founding fathers were first revered as Messianic figures only to later fall from grace causing regression and division in the societies and nations that many other revolutionaries bled for. It’s during this era that most African states were poorly governed and torn apart due to recurring violence. Unlike most, the foundation of Botswana’s building blocks were unity and the harmony of ideas and sayings like,”Ntwa kgolo ke ya molomo” show the importance of dialogue where a conflict rises. This in particular is what makes our story different, which makes Sir Seretse Khama and Sir Quett Ketumile Joni Masire the greatest statesmen Africa has seen.  Joni in particular was an easy going fellow, who usually eased up intense and formal occasions with his wit and humour, but during times that demanded it, he was stern. Having been the first Finance Minister, he delivered the first ever budget speech and stands as one of the architects of our ec...

I Have Always Been Hailed For My Intelligence For As Long As I Can Remember. For My Primary Life In Entirety The Praises Were Solely Based On My Academic Aptitude. Every Prize Giving Ceremony Was Like My Own Personal Ego Fuelling Event Because I’d Claim Prizes For Being The Best At Most, If Not All, The Subjects I Did. At Secondary Level My Academic Work Left A Lot To Be Desired As Per My Grades But The People Still Knew I Was An Intellect One Way Or The Other. Whether It Was Me Raising Valid Arguments And Presenting Water-Tight Perspectives During Debates Or Me Documenting A Solid Business Plan For A Unique Business Idea I Came Up With While Involved In The Junior Achievement Botswana (JAB) Program Or Me Being A Geek And Totally Nerding Out In Various Subject Quizzes Displaying My Vast General Knowledge, People Generally Praised Me For It. I Love Knowing Things And Ever Since This Trait Of Mine Became Dawned To Me, I Made It My Point To Let Anyone And Everyone Who Would Listen ...

PowerCircle ABC, #Pieoneers2017 Since the 2008 global recession, Botswana has experienced a staggering upsurge in the unemployment rate. From a consistent 17.5 to a solid 20%. Inflation was no exception, at least we seen it drop to an all time minimum of 3.3% in April 2017. But for a country the size of France and a population of 3 million people what could possibly be the reason for such a high unemployment rate? We have all witnessed the tragic collapse of the diamond and beef international markets right in front of  our very eyes.  This pushed the government's efforts to traject towards diversifying in attempts to save the economy.  We have seen youth grants, loans and project financing by various arms of government in the last few years to fulfill citizen empowerment.  Many companies are either restructuring, downsizing and or shutting down completely,  tremendously  cutting down chances of ever finding reliable employment. Internship is just a...

Okavango Delta #PieoneersBlog #BW Our Pride, Your Destination The Executive Director of Brand Management (Esther Morris) invites Batswana to take charge in marketing the Botswana Brand. This call comes in efforts to promote diversity from the mining sector to the tourism industry that is flourishing with utmost potential. Despite being a semi-arid country, Botswana has some of the most beautiful wetlands dazzling to the eye. The Okavango Delta is a prime example of such a paradise.  It is only right that it is amongst the most famous inland ecosystems in the world housing some of the planet’s endangered species in the animal kingdom. Winter as it is now, presents itself as the perfect season to visit the magnificent Okavango. This is accredited to the Delta’s uniqueness of having a ‘second wet season’ which then nature dictates the animals migration patterns to sprint from everywhere else to flock the floodplains. Words truly cannot ascribe the Okavango Delta’s...
