How time flies! We are almost into the winter season of a new year. The summer and autumn seasons seem to have been intertwined. The summer is done and the autumn is about to be dusted.

Today, we bring you the February-March 2026 edition with a great cover. A wedding cover! Not just an ordinary wedding. A cabinet ministers wedding!! Very historic I must say!

We can dig deep from the archives, but we will not be able to find anything coming close to this rare occurrence. Enjoy reading this wonderful article of the coming together of a man and a woman, an acting minister and an assistant minister as well as their families to become one.

It is inspiring; especially at a time when statistics indicate that the marriage institution is under siege in this country. Marriages are dissipating; families torn apart and children grow up doubting or not knowing the importance of marriage.

We also bring you a feature story of one of the country’s buzzing places, Mogoditshane. You can find almost everything from the semi-urban village, which has existed on the doorsteps of the capital city for years.

This edition seems to be just roving around Gaborone with another interesting article about the Batlokwa celebrations of their more than 100 years existence in their one and only village of Tlokweng.

There is also a bit of history as we look into the significance of Samora Machel Museum in Lobatse, the country’s first town.

In an era of technology over-use, we also look at the good and bad of always having headphones on. We also touch on a problem affecting women, bacterial vaginosis and help to explain it in a medical practitioner’s vocabulary.

We also touch on the topical Constitutional Court. There is also agro processing of seswaa article, at a time when many are unable to slaughter cattle freely due to the Foot and Mouth Disease situation.

Overall, the edition is what you will really enjoy at a time like this. Ipalele o je monate!

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.
