Rona bo Kgabo re kgabola fela, Bakgatla re a kgatlhega, bo Tshwene re tshwenyegile; Batswapong re tswa pelo. Ke nna wa maloba le maabane kau le lesesane motho wa ga Mmanaana! Ke a bo ke ne ke le kwa Morwa maloba ke jetse bo rakgadi nala! Banna dilo re di bonna ka fa kgatleng kafa!  Waitse batho ba Bakgatla ga se batho ba go itirela botsotsi; fa ba rata selo go tshwana le fa ba re ga ba se rate.

Mosimane yo wa ntsalake, Botoka, letlakala la bofelo. Ke ene e tla reng ke tsena le go dumedisa ke ise ke dumedise a bo a nthwalathwala a sasanka motse otlhe ka nna. A Botoka o senkang, nnya! O ka seke o itse. Pele re tsene fa ga mmasemangmang fa go rekisiwang serotola matlho teng, ra fitlhela go lowa ya dira ga di bone!

Go a bonala mosimane yo mongwe o tsene foo a seka a itshwara sentle.Hee! Ba mo feela bo Kgabo. “Wa tella moshiane o!  O batla ‘o betswa!” Botoka a tshabela kgakala. Kana le nna o mpona ke le fa jaana ke rata ntwa bobe, sebe sa phiri ke gore ke lapa ka pela.

Ke bao! Ra palamela kwa ntsweng. Fa re feta golo gongwe mongwe a tlhaeletsa, “Monna Botoka mpeipisa hoo!” Botoka le ene a mo romelela karabo ka bofefo a tlhobosa, “Owai! Ga kena motsokwe! Ke ya`o tlhola peipi ya Mmalesego! Ke tloo fitlha ke o peipisa!”

Lentswe lele la tla gape, “O itlhaganele otla mphitlhela kwaeno! Jaanong yo o sekgakga yoo ke mang?” “Moshiane yo o tswa Thamaga ke wa Malome!” Ka kgwela lenxa ka fa pelong. Ra tlhatlosa mosepele, ra ba ra fitlha ga Mmalesego. Fa re tsena ka mojako, ra thulane le ramarokgwane o mongwe. “A gona le sengwe?”

Botoka a botsa! Ramarokgwane a araba ka gore ke ditlhogo fela. Ditlhogo! Ya ne e kete ke tla akabala. Jannong ditlhogo di batla eng mo motsokong. Re dule foo o kare ga re a bona thuso, dilo di direga ka ponyo ya leitlho. Ra fitlha ra thibelelela kwa ga rre wa kgantele a batla go peipa. Fa ke re matlho thaa! Botoka a ntsha pampiri e tletse motokwane! ‘Modimo wa tshwaro ke ile toronkong!

A selo se motokwane wa bonwa.` A ntshita a le tlhaeng. Fa ke sa gamaregile jalo, Botoka a ba a o tlhasetse a nopola dilabe mo teng! “Monyana o kajeko o rekisa majaja,” ga buwa tsala ya ga Botoka!

Botoka a o swaela mo letsogong. A tloga a o tshela mo pampitshaneng a o tshopha ka bokgabane; o bona gore ke motho a dira ka lerato, a ne a ema pele a leba sentle, a tloge a e latswe ka leleme morago a kgwe masalela a pampiri. Ka re fa go tshopha go ne go tseelwa sekgele, ka mmatota se ne se ka bo se mo lebagane.

Ba tloga ba e jajaola ka molelo ya peperetla, mosimane a e tima ka go e tshasatshasa mathe. Monko wa teng o ka utlwiwa le ke motho wa mofikela. Hee! Go lo moo go bogale.

Kana le nna ka utlwa e kare ke a tsibikela mme ke sa o ja. Fa e le baji ba one bone ke ba rototse matlho o ka re motho a aketswe! Bo Botoka batla ipolaya wee! Ba e amogana basimane ba Bakgatla. Kgabagare ga re tuu! Kgantele mosimane a thubega ka setshego, Botoka a se tseeletsa! Ga ke a ka ka re kamoso, ke bo ke mo tsaya ka letsogo ra wela tsela ra leba kwa lwapeng.

Nnya tlhe! O ile kwa a bua ditsiabadimo fela. Fa re lebile jarata a rata go wela mo go nna! “Tota o dirang monna!” Ka botsa ka bogale. “Ke ne ke tsaya gore ngwedi o wela mo go nna.” Re fitlhela bo rakgadi ba itisitse. Botoka a dumedisa ka maitseo a a faphegileng, a tloga a tsenela ka fa kamoreng ya gagwe.

Ka nna foo le bo rakgadi. Sephatlo sa motsotso a bo a setse a boile. “Dumelang bagolo!” A boeletsa madume. “Heela tlhe Botoka! A wa lebala ne malatsi a, akere o ntse o re dumedisa.” Ga bua rakgadi. A seka a fetola, e kete motho a sa utlwe sentle kwa ditsebeng.

A fetela ka fa phaposing ya boapeelo a laila dijo tsotlhe le mopako wa ga monnawe tota. Fa a boela fa go rona madume a seka a lebala! Ba tlhwaega, mmaagwe a mo tsenya matlho a seka a bona sepe. Yo rraagwe a itidimaletse fela.  Rakgadi a ntsha lesome la dipula a mo roma sukiri. Rraagwe le ene a mo neeletsa. “O ntlele chibuku,”a bua jalo amo neela lesome la dipula. Owai! Ka ponyo ya leitlho a bo a setse a boile; sebe sa phiri, o tla a itshopere.

“Ke eng o ne o sa ye go tlhola kwa semausung sa ga Tuelo?” Ga botsa rakgadi.  “Golo mo lwapeng mo ke a bona le batla go ntira setomo! Madi a a lona a tshwana fela, nna ga ke itse gore P10 wa sukiri le wa chibuku ke ofe!”

“Heela tlhe Mothusi! Motho yo ne o rileng!” Ka se ka re kamoso, “O ntse a ja matekwane!” Monnamogolo a tlhera. “Wa peipa moshiane ke wena! Ke wena o ntseng o utswa motsokwe wame!”

A ya le ene jalo a mo paselela ka matlhapa. Fa e kete o tla wa ke sedidi, Botoka a nna fa fatshe a leba rraagwe ka kgakgamalo, a tloga a mmotsa, “Kante ke go bone kae ne Bra yaka?” Yare rraagwe a ise a arabe mmaagwe a tlola, “Motho yo ke rraago! Wa re bra.” Yo Botoka a seka a lemoga fa a kgotlhile motshitshi.

“Ee! Kana ke bona gore e kare ke kile ka mmona golo gongwe, ke ntse ke ipotsa gore a ke a mo itse. Rraagwe ga ise a re kamoso, a mo digela letlapa la letswele mo tlhogong, mosimane a sala a rapaletse fa fatshe. Bokhutlo

Editors Note

We return once more with another mouthwatering edition. We bring you the Miss Botswana 2026 as our cover story to encourage young beautiful ones out there that hard work and perseverance always pays.

Our youth need to know that their God-given talent can be utilised to earn them a living. Be it in sport, beauty pageants or any pursuit they wish to undertake.

Life is not always about having a white or blue-collar job, waking each day to sit behind a desk in an office or working for someone or some company. It is all about maximising every little opportunity we have to accomplish that, which we desire.

We also feature a story of the Botswana Sports Awards, which saw a young man of the moment, a 400 metre World Champion and a national records breaker, Collen Kebinatshipi become the toast of the awards night. He came out of the night as the biggest winner.

This edition also brings to you the Foot and Mouth Disease painful reality as the nation continues to grapple with having very limited supply of beef.

Lesotho Jazz Music artist, Budhaza once sang that he has never seen a feast with no meat (Mokete o senang nama, kere ha ke so o bone). The reality is that this disease has truly affected one of the nation’s staple foods, beef. Lets all do what is necessary to ensure it does not continue to become a thorn in the flesh (beef) of our beloved cattle-rearing nation. 

This edition also contains a solemn feature of a nation in grief following the death of its 3rd President, Dr Festus Gontebanye Mogae. The distinguished statesman was widely loved and appreciated for so many things that he was to Botswana and the world.

We see it fit to share with you his story and to help you find closure in this edition. Rra Nametso was laid to rest in Phomolong at the upmarket Phakalane Suburb in the North of the capital city, Gaborone.

In other news, we share with you stories of  Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional integration. We share a story of late former South Africa President and global icon, Dr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela use of an airstrip in Kanye during the apartheid struggle.

We feature also a story about a monument built in Lobatse to remember Dr Mandela. So sit back and enjoy the read as well as many other interesting articles.
