So adulting is basically paying black tax,state tax..Surviving evil of your workmates,trying to find love unsuccessfully, back pains, paying back debts,randomly breaking down because you're overwhelmed, overdue bills and dealing with the death of friends and family in between🥺🥺
It is one thing to be top anything in your country,to be the best in your country, region,continent. It is an entirely different thing to be named among top athletes in the world. Top 10 athletes in the world and you're barely out of your teens. Doing all this grieving. Salute🫡

Until we as young people learn to bring our brilliance together,we will starve while bagolo feast and we sit by for leftovers. Youth in BW for whatever reason don't value collaborations.Look, We don't have to be friends, we just need to survive and make money.
People celebrate you for your creativity and style in fashion ntse gona le other prominent designers in the country. You’re not mediocre just because you aren’t in the level of those other designers…Yaanong thoma ka serethe, abo o ema!
We batswana celebrate mediocre 😭🥴 so many hit songs released by artists like Amantle, Dato, ATI, just to name a few...
And nope, what we are gonna celebrate is go hloma ka serethe🙄
People are telling you gore they have been unemployed since 2012!!!!
And they are still unemployed, struggling. 35 years old living with your younger sister and her children.
She buys you food and toiletries. Gives you transport money.
Some are getting internship calls at 32!!!
Had the privilege to be invited to a career day this past week by the Good Shepherd Catholic church in Phakalane. Was a little nervous for some reason. Shared bits and pieces of my life story to speak to adaptability,resilience and aligning passion with practicality. Great day!🙏🏿
My Selector hit me!!!!

This is why lines are blurred and people think State Funds are BDP funds. And to a great extent why people think BDP membership guarantees access to state coffers and tenders. Not that it has not for some.
A state program has been turned into a BDP program. This is not right.
Had a meeting le Slumber. There’s a tender we are doing. Over 200 million. Ebile let me call Mokgweetsi,

Ga gona degree ee useless gents. Most times people don't want to admit to themselves gore they're the problem. You pass & get a degree but you don't know isht about your program or industry. You're qualified but not skilled. You passed,but not learned. Go bata re iteka le rona.
You see this place…This is parliarmentary village in Ext 11. Its a high security area, No fly zone.Those houses you see are MP’s Town houses. They stay here for free, 5 years. They dont pay for electricity,water or WiFI. Parliamentray village has Member’s lounge. MPs have
But marriage and kids are a big deal neh...so koore it's possible gore 3 years from now abo ke nna le two to three other people in my house,at my cost 🙆🏿
Ke le broke and sleep deprived???ha magodu ba re cheka I become the shield? I must contend with lizards also? Aah,mphe zero!
Getting married in your 20s just sets you up for a miserable life ahead, characterised by abuse and infidelity le depression. Burdened with kids and a commitment to someone. The marriage becomes an altar of sacrifice for your dreams and ambition. 😬
I took this thing of being unequally yoked lightly. Aaah fam. Let's spare each other heart breaks. Be with people you're fundamentally on the same wave length with. Same belief system, same ideology, same doctrinal positions. Mutual attraction isn't enough in the long run.
I went for counseling before and after my break up with my bride.
I think it's time I went for counseling so I get back in the game. I've lost out on opportunities to be with incredible people because of this fear of abandonment that paralyzes me. The excuses are joy thieves.
My Pop died a few days after getting paid. His account had P250 Left.His insurance policies had not been paid. He had 10k in his pension. He started working at 16. Worked for a certain company for 13 years. No offs,No leave. Got 4k severance benefit. I'm bitter. I'm seething! The
After my mom’s death, I was cleaning up her room and saw her payslips tsa ma P600 and I’ve been bitter since. And no level of personal success will take away that bitterness until I see other Batswana like her get fairer chance at life and not be exploited.
BW is toxic. How are you guys ok bashing these Forbes 30 under 30 nominees. Calling them sub standard, mediocre. Naare lona what greatness have you achieved?Aoo banna.
Govt is not a man,not an individual & therefore cannot be offended or disrespected by her citizen.
But here,Govt can be offended because leaders personalise governance,they're in & of themselves govt. No Citizen owes his govt any respect.But every govt owes her Citizens respect!

This hurts. Really deep. Coz you grow up in a household and families where your siblings and cousins know their fathers. You look at them and their fathers and it makes sense. You kind of get the idea of what father and child is. The mannerisms,the character, the way
You want to ridicule someone for their song. A fellow creative is having great online success and appreciation and you are calling them mediocre. I am saying, you are not exactly Mothusi Lesolle. In comparison to other designers in the country…your designs and thoma ka serethe
Your vote will speak for those who died needlessly because of the gross incompetence and indifference of government. Our friends and family members whose names became tags in mortuaries, statistics!must have someone speak for them.

Raa utswelwa as entrepreneurs in this country. We submitted a proposal to ease business process for a parastatal last year. We didn't get any response till this year when we asked,and as they always say,we'll get back to you. They launched it,tweaked but the same! We will fight!
Bless a tertiary student with a little something please, bana ba Modimo ba bolawa ke tala. I met one maabane from UB, who had not eaten for days. Last had an energy drink the day before. Go thata because of sponsorship and allowance issues. It'll go a long way. Good morning.❤🙏🏿
As we gear up for the General Election. It is necessary to have spaces where we have engagements around issues and personalities at the center of our politics. A platform to interrogate candidates, parties and their manifestos. Join us soon as we start. We have two major
Firstly you are misrepresenting the facts. The issue wasnt that our health care system is burdened by Zimbabweans. It was that it is generally burdened as it is,Batswana struggle as it is. Opening up the borders to Zims would only burden us more. And it is not just the health
Botswana Members of parliament from the ruling party and the opposition have united to roundly reject the idea of Zimbabweans coming to Botswana without passports but only identity cards in a reciprocal deal.
The Botswana MPs said that their public healthcare system is already
Can I plug you guys with tools that helps me be productive? Upskill? Makes me a little money for rent and bills?
Obviously tsa madi will not be instant.

I think Cheating is the worst kind of abuse. Leaves a deep scar that no band aid can nurse. It messes with your mind and how you see yourself. Makes you feel inadequate. Changes your outlook on love and happiness, trust...it's consequences are far reaching fam!
The older I get, the more I realise that cheating isn't the deal breaker we all make it out to be. There are worse things that can happen in a relationship. And please don't come for me, this is just my measly opinion.
Random conversation I had le Olady,I asked her why she named me Arnold. I was honestly expecting a corny story,maybe something about Greek mythology, Nope!Turns out the teenage mother just had a crush mo go skwazneka,a whole Terminator fam, Protector of Sarah Connor..I mean😏😏😏
Take a minute to think of those aunties,uncles and cousins that you have never seen dressed up and cleaned up. Those people whom for as long as you have known them, have always been in diOborolo and old clothes.
Usually,they are the hardest working. We love them because it takes
When Ndaba expounded on this. He basically said the problem with Chema Chema is that it's a blanket approach.Different sectors dictate the different needs of business. Some need debt financing,some equity financing some just grants. Programs must be tailor made for industry needs
Don't date someone who's only kind to you but vile & uncouth to any other person.Kindness is not just an act,It is a principle that doesn't recognise familiarity,emotional attachments & fondness.If they're unkind to a stranger,They will soon be unkind to you!"Date kind people "🙄
Not to say you are or aren't smart,I can't speak to it.

Announcing a visit to avoid a possible heartbreak is only deferring the ultimate...if you reach a point where you feel you have to guard your heart jealously mme ole in a relationship, Leave!You cant live and love freely with such an insecurity. If the feeling is visceral,bounce!

If you haven't confronted yourself about your own sexuality. Had an internal chat & search, You're probably living within an assumed sexuality.
This is why gents are afraid to wear pink, hold hands, express love & think self care is gay😂, Why gents think bogwaba is manliness.😂

Let's get it bruv. I'm 31. Back in school. I recently learnt that my engineering qualification is no longer relevant in today's world. I'm upgrading myself.
Honestly BW depresses me. And knowing what the outcome of October will be…just want to quit it all and focus my energies elsewhere. Whats the point???
We are fighting for a cause people don’t even want for themselves. 💔
Finally got my trading license 🥺🥺🥺

A Sabbath blessing really. Interestingly,after getting it, two people blessed it.
