She seems to be avoiding me   

Around the end of last year I was introduced to this girl and we hit it off quite well on a date. To cut the story short we began to see each other when she had time and it was all going really well, although she seemed really shy. However I guess she had a busy schedule, and one day she told me that we couldn't be go out anymore.

It’s kind of hard to be honest. I genuinely don't like many people out there, so while I was looking for the next cool girl out there I decided that I still really want to be friends with this one. Because, well, she's just a cool girl and I think it would be nice.

So as of late we have been texting up a storm and been making plans to hang out every now and then, except well. Every time she is supposed to come over something "pops up" and she can't make it. She claims its just bad luck and "nothing is up" but come on. This has happened so many times, that of course I'm gonna question it.

The final straw for me was on Valentine’s Day. I went to eat out and I realized that her job was quite close by. I texted her, asking about her lunch break and proposed that maybe we could go grab something to eat for one of these days. And I never received anything. She rarely takes this long to respond. Can you explain to me what might be going on?

Setlogolo, sometimes people are not direct in showing their lack of interest in a relationship. Such people will try other tactics to show the other person that they do not want to be with them. Such tactics may include ignoring calls or messages sent to them. I suggest you send a message asking her to meet with you to discuss the issue, if she ignores your message I suggest you take it as a sign that she is really not interested and you should then move on.

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.
