Like father like son By; Leungo Phitlho PIC;Will the giant ever be defeated by DCEC ………. Hardly a day passes by without a corruption case in the media. It is very heart breaking to find out that, that one person you trusted with your vote is betraying your trust, loyalty and love. Botswana has allowed corruption to permeate deep into the economy and we are now sinking deep into corruption that it has now become a culture. It seems normal to us, passed from one generation to the next, our own legacy. If our own elders are doing it, it will not be a shame for the next generation to do the same. The roots of corruption cases comes from the greed of the members of the parliament, to get rich and be better than others; competition. The ‘’get rich quickly’’ syndromehas pulled many people into politics, as they need no qualifications. They get into politics in order to have the powers to control the nation’s resources, to get to use what they want at any time. These people are a concern to the society; they are more concerned about themselves than the people who voted them. Let us fight for our nation and kill corruption.

WHO CAN WE TRUST WE OUR VOTES IN 2014 ELECTIONS?

PIC; House of our MP’s Just like mathematics, politics is a game of numbers, the greater the numbers you have the richer you can be. It needs people who are determined to keep their promises and work for the country. A politician needs to attract people as much as possible to secure their future, gain people’s trust and loyalty. Politicians who switches parties can be confusing and misleading people. After the dismissal of GomolemoMotswaledi, he formed his own party, which then caused chaos in the parliament as about eight members of Botswana Democratic Party moved to Botswana Movement for Democracy. Motlhale was one of the founders of Botswana Movement for Democracy and a member of parliament who alsodoubled duties as a treasurer of the party but he still had the guts to depart from BMD back to BDP.just when we thought it was getting better BotsaloNtuane also returned to BDP. Just recently, there has been 2014 election registration and to show how people are not even sure who to vote in 2014 they did not register, the Independent Electoral Commission target 1.2 million and they did not meet their target. Primary election should have been carried out to give the nation light in whom to vote in 2014.

SAVE TEENAGE MOTHERS By; Leungo Phitlho Thousands of students fall pregnant unexpectedly and this results in accelerated dropouts in schools, hence destroying their future. Isn’t it time the government looked further into the laws pertaining abortion. Different non-governmental organizations have raised the issue before the lawmakers but it is very unfortunate that their cry was of no help, they were turned down.Churches also disagree about the issue of abortion, as they believe it is against their teachings and practices. The assistant minister of local government BotlhogileTshireletso and other non- governmental organization bet to differ with churches as they have raised the issue before the parliament and gave out valid reasons to why abortion should be legalized. Moreover, the legalization of abortion can save the government many resources spent on saving these people’s lives after backstreet abortion operation go wrong, such as hospital bills. However, with the incidents that have happened before they call for the legalization of abortion because many infants are found in rubbish bins in mostly around Gaborone bus rank station and Francistown bus rank. This issue should be brought before the parliament and the law of Botswana, in which they explain that abortion should be carried out under certain circumstances, in cases of rape, incest or foetal impairment.

CHRICH-SANITY

By; Leungo Phitlho Sin has now grown in our veins, genes and minds. Many times pastors are alleged to have slept with people from the congregation. Not so long ago a Zion Christian Church Pastor killed his wife but he is the one person who preaches the bible, which has the message” thou shall not kill’’. Everyone wants to be rich these days. Our tongues are even used to the same prayers of seeking glitz and glamour. The moment the pastor says let us pray; people will forget about seeking forgiveness from God and would start demanding all the riches in the world. It is not even a shame to hear a pastor of a church seek money from the congregation. Christianity of today is different from yesterdays. Back in the days in churches we were taught to seek for forgiveness as Jesus is going to come at any time of the day so everyone should be prepared, it is rare nowadays to hear a pastor preach that message and the funny part is they never forget the time when money has to be popped out. Yes is it written in the book of Psalm 95; 1-6 that let us sing unto the Lord, come before his throne with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto him with Psalms.Does this necessarily mean money?

LETS ALL PRAY FOR MOCHUDI VILLAGE By; Leungo Phitlho Pic; Mochudi village Our first presidentSeretseKhama once said, “A nation without a culture is a lost nation”.BakgatlabagaKgafelais one of the few tribes in this country that still celebrates initiation schools, they still believe in our culture.WhenKgosikgafela obtained his chieftaincy, he wanted to correct much indiscipline in the village hence bringing back the stick. Hardly a day passes by without having Mochudi chaos in the media. It has grown in our veins that everything that we hear in the media about Mochudi village is a bad, it will be a surprise to hear something good about this village. Just in the past four weeks, ten cases of murder have been reported in Mochudi and surrounding areas. People kill each other because of silly reasons; a teenager (19) boy stabbed a 26-year-old man to death in a wedding at Boseja ward. The whole Mochudi saga is a shame, the impressions it gives to the world is that we are a nation that does not value its tradition and culture. The nation of Botswana should get on their knees and pray for the community of Mochudi, what is happening there is affecting us as a nation.
