The Midweek Sun

WHAT IS IT THAT THE CHINESE CANNOT DO UNDER THE SUN?

- Madibelatl­hopho

Seeing that they can just about do anything under the sun, the Chinese seemingly got bored and decided to manufactur­e the sun itself. A couple of years ago, several reports emerged of the Chinese

coming up with some artificial sun intended to compete with the existing real deal. Even pictures of the Chinese sun, reported to be five times hotter than the real sun, were shown all over the world. Magatwe

that sun can go up to 70 degrees Celsius for 17 minutes and is said to be capable of even defying a cloudy day with its illuminati­on power.

Tota mme gatwe MaChina ba palelwa ke eng? For people who can make replicas of Cheese, Pasta, Coca-Cola and even Jesus!!! Yes, gatwe some Chinese shop boss in Broadhurst, Gaborone was asked by a customer if he knew Jesus. The man who was asking the question had been surprised by the sight of the Bible on the counter. He was like: MoChina a tshotse Bible?? So gatwe this man looked the Chinese shop keeper and asked: “So you know Jesus?” The Chinese fellow gatwe ke fa a supa gore ga a utlwa sentle. A re “What?” The man repeated: “Do you know Jesus?” Gatwe moChina ke ga a tsholetsa mowa, asking the man: “Shesas? How does this shesas look like? Just give me sample and I take it to China we do it for you!” The puzzled man said again: “I mean Jesus. God. Up there in the sky.” MoChina a ipoeletsa: “Yes, God or shesas (Jesus), in China we do all. Just give me sample.” So you see, the Chinese can come up with another Jesus when they want to. They just manufactur­ed the sun! Gatwe they are now selling BDP t-shirts and those of UDC’s – all made in China.
