Constitutional review meetings and suggestions
If you want to know how Batswana generally feel about what is happening in the country, liste to the people speaking at the ongoing constitutional review consultative meetings. Looks like a lot of people have been dying inside about a lot of things we have been taking for granted. For instance, gatwe it is wrong for the bride prize paid for a plus-size woman to be the same as the one for her skinny counterpart. That a bride prize charge for a university degree holder should be higher than that of woman whose education ended at JC or BGCSE level. The more eductated the woman, the higher the charge ya bogadi. Gatwe that should be constitutionalized! Gatwe the constitution should state that a man who impregnates a woman and runs away, a bolawe or all rights to the child be taken away from him forever! In other villages, they a man should be forced to marry the woman he made pregnant. Basadibagolo out there are angry with having to take care of men’s children who ran away from their responsibilities. E bile gatwe should that man want to later return, a hefty fine be placed on him as well as to pay all the monies spent on the child before. Traditional medicine men and women on the other hand are crying le bone, they say the use of the word Witchdoctor should cease forthwith. Gatwe goromente must look for a nicer word to refer to dingaka tsa setso. Furthermore, gatwe DNA should be mandatory at birth, go netefatswe rraago ngwana just after birth. Bannabagolo are angry that they have been raising children belonging to richer men. Tse dingwe dikgang go only to show that people out there are clueless about what the constitution entails. Ba re Choppies le Liquarama di pateletswe go tswa mo metseng di digile di small general dealer le di bottle store!
