I warned about this. Sad we still aren’t doing anything to curb such movements. Our primary clinics do not have the resources to deal with

Solely focusing on GDP growth numbers without substance( jobs, sustainable livelihoods, inclusive economy) leads to bubble economies.. troubled by inequalities, poverty, unemployment yet pushing high growth #. Model Shift necessary. We shouldn’t waste this crises

: To realize a green economy, purely capitalistic models do not work. Solely focusing on work does not work. Because we end up with economies which look big and beautiful like a balloon but filled with air that will burst.
Finally Botswana is no longer on the UK red list. Next is the recognition of our vax certificate 🤞🏾
Some good news for our tourism industry. So much lobbying went into this.
From 4am, Monday 11th October, 47 destinations will be removed from the red list for international travel with only 7 remaining.
The UK's inbound vaccinated arrivals policy has also been extended to a further 30+ destinations.

Please, let’s be the generation that ends black tax and toxic parent tax. Your job as a parent is to support your child to adulthood and to continue holding space for them should they stumble. Life is already hard and expensive enough. A kalo.
I’m wrapping up my weekend with a re-read of Very Brave or Very Foolish by Fmr HE QKJ Masire. An interesting read, a good look into what Botswana was back then and how Batswana envisioned their new country.
