ABOUT THE SATELLITE, ELECTRIC CAR AND CONNECTED PLOTS

And so the trending response to President Masisi announcing the BOT SAT 1 project is that nothing he says ever materializes! Batswana! Gatwe o sale a re there will be an electric car, nako kgolo ke eno. Gatwe o sale a re you will get a plot with immediate internet connectivity, le jaana. Now Batswana have been taking to social media as usual, to question how such earthly projects that are easier to action have so far failed to materialize yet we are now talking space technology. They are asking how the satellite in space would be maintained when the country cannot fix broken water pipes for days. Ever so cynical and skeptical, the Batswana are even wondering if the President won’t turn around tomorrow to say they are only developing components of a satellite the same way he said about the electric car components. Gatwe in 2024 he may even say ene he has never ever talked about that satellite in a dig borrowed from his 2019 assertion that ene he never ever said ke lelope when there is video evidence to him uttering the words. Waitse some people no longer trust the president – if only he could read such sentiments and reflect on what he has said and promised, perhaps he could one day come out to explain why certain things have not panned out the way he promised.
