Fela fa letlhakoreng la letsha la Makgadikgadi, dikhilomethara di le lekgolo le masome a robabongwe bokone jwa toropo ya Francistown, dile makgolo mararo go leba Kasane kgotsa Maun, go ikadile motse wa Nata. 

Fa ke thuthuga maloba jale ka ngwaga wa tsie, Nata o ne a tumile ka bojang jwa rantafole. Motse o o mo marakanelong a ditsela o itsege gape ka letswai.  

Ya re ngwaga di ntse di totoba, makwaladikgang a tlhaba mokgosi gore motse o wetswe ke seru sa segajaja. Bopeloditelele ba dipatlisiso ba supa fa sibi se kukwediwa ke borre ba ba kgweetsang megobagoba ba ba thubang kobo segole fa pele ba anama le Aferika.

E re ntswa tsa babega dikgang di eme jalo, ba Nata bone, morago ga se ba go gadimang, pele ke ba go yang. 

“Nata o a gola…ke motse wa ntlha mo kgorong ya bojanala. Bojanala bo re tswela mosola le ntswa re tlhoka barotloeti,” Kgosi ya motse Rebagamang Rancholo o tlhalosetsa Kutlwano

Dikgwetlho ka e le karolo ya botshelo kgosi o simolola ka go nankola ditsa tlholego tse motse o wa batho ba ka nnang dikete tse tlhano ba ipelang ka tsone. Tse di akaretsa letswai, mokolwane, noka ya Nata e e tshelang mo lekgadikgading le le dirang letswai, maungo a naga, bojang jo bo rulelang le lekgadikgadi la Sua le e reng morago ga sephai le fetoge legae la nonyane ya Flamingo.

Go runya ga mafelo a borobalo le marekisetso ka go farologana, ke sesupo sa pharakano ya Nata. Kgosi Rancholo ebile o setse a na le tumelo gore lengwe la malatsi, motse wa gagwe o tla a fetolwa go nna kgaolo potlana. 

Selelo segolo sa ga kgosi ke go tlhoka babeeletsi ka jaana maiteko a ntlha a iteile sefololetse. A re se se rontsha Nata Bird Sanctuary go ka gatela pele ka mo nakong eno, “we rely on dates tsa bajanala and we are trying for partnerships re setse re na le CT 5- a photography tourism project along Nata-Kasane road.” Fela jaaka ngwana a tsholwa, motse o o simologile e le meraka ya Bangwato. Meraka e ya nna sego, ka ngwaga wa 1960, kompone e e neng e thapa badiri ba meepo go ya Rustenburg kwa Aferika Borwa ya Wenela ya thibelela fa. Ya re go hulareng ga kompone e, diofisi tsa fetoga sekolo se sebotlana se se neng sa nna lesedi la bana ba kgaolo e.

Motho ka ene a tshwana le sethunya se e reng moso se bo se kgabile mme ere fa le phirima se bo se swabile, nnyaya, eseng ka motse wa Nata, e gana nnang wa banyana namane ya kgosi e e katogileng monyo.

Ka bangwe ba a tle ba kgobege marapo fa dilo di tsamaya jaaka khudu, eseng Kgosi Rancholo. Tsa gagwe tlhako o tla a di funolola dikgole go tlhaba kgobe ka mutlwa mo ‘tilong sa dikgole fela tsatsi le a tla bonang toro tsa Nata Bird Sanctuary di arabilwe. 

“Re batla go aga mafelo a borobalo, re nne le lefelo le re  rutuntshang batho ba ba tsamaisang bajanala, modiro wa Makgadikgadi Epic le one o tshegediwe ngwaga le ngwaga gore re boelwe le go bapatsa lefelo le.” 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.
