What is mnabwabwa doing in Zimbabwe neighbouring countries are the ones who take care of Zimbabweans…lots of Zimbabweans are yes man that mentality will never take them anywhere
We love Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 as Botswana. We are not sure what is South Africa’s problem
Botswana people are everywhere even your celebrities
This dynamic man is new to the office…but is obviously intelligent & thinks strategically. Prayerfully, he will stay true to his vision for the betterment of Botswana and not be swayed by the Imperialist West.
Dude dont you pay attention, your diamonds will have no market, perhaps for abrasives but your average size stones will be undercut by market flooding.
Same as russia was told about their stones.
U nerd tô work hard on security tô avoid Wars and keep It as a peacefull country please that the proority
If you have spiritual eyes… he is bad news. Botswana went from the frying pan into the flames.
All they did was switch-out a longer lasting one. The hair cut alone
Namibia 🇳🇦 congratulates you 🎉🎉🎉
DeBeers puppet. Step backwards
This is the Botswana we used to have. The home of democracy. A place of peace and tranquility. That's my Boy Duma Gideon Boko 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🌂☔💙💙💙💙
Our President , well deserved he came a long way
85% vs 15% is not a fair partnership and that has to be renegotiated to a 60/40 respectable ratio. The govt needs to freeze mining operations while it is auditing their safety for workers using mining safety standards and policies from jurisdictions like Canada. If the auditors find any safety violations during their audits, permits will not be renewed. The mine workers need union to help with health and safety so the workers need to be certified if they have not already. The govt has to take the leadership to ensure a decent wage and benefits for locals, union bargaining protections, and a better deal. Unfair agreements by previous govts whether corrupt or not will not be allowed to remain. 85/15 are ratios one use when operations are just being established and projects are capital intensive. Debeers has since recoup their capital expenditures and smooth sailing since. Dont let them hoodwinked your leaders with foolish talk about prices for diamond decreasing because of synthetics those are school yard negotiation tricks.
Zvino nhai Botswana isu Zimbabwe matiisa varombo zvekudiiko zvekuti tichaita tichitsvaga basa ikoko.
What Africa requires is a patriotic, focused, Non corrupt benevolent government. That's how Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Libya and others were able to develop. Democracy, Demoncracy, Moneydocracy and Fakedocracy will never develop any country. As they are easily manipulated by external forces.
There is no day the falsely glorified biggest democracy in the world India will ever equal China in development!
Unless they change their model of governance!!
Africa should borrow from traditional types of Leadership and also adopt Tanzania's Chama Cha Mapenduzi CCM structures of leadership and controls.
My president ❤
Rirax pree dom Africa
That's a Bold move for PRESIDENT BOKO THE LAWYER AND HE SHOULD BE REWARDED WITH THE AFRICAN LEADERSHIP !!!! In Southern Africa when we face a challenge 99% we come out clean just to save an AFRICAN CHILD & RETURN DIGNITY ON THE CONTINENT (WELDONE JUNTA FOR BREAKING THE STATUS CUO & PROVING THAT NORMALITY IS A POSSIBILITY IN west Africa) 🤔🤔🙄🙄
Take the money and build schools of engineering, not business, planes, schools for automobiles, cement facilities. Totally backwards on running a country.
Sounds promising.
Our father, fly high you are untouchable. Make us proud. 😢😢
Zimbabweans, honest educated experienced men and women, I say, are ready to march with our brothers towards an inclusive, sustainable, and growing economy….
The background music is unnecessary 👨🏾🦯
Trump for president
Get that American army base out of ur country
The anc you are next
I cannot believe an African leader is so deluded about Trump. Just look at the people he has appointed if you think he is going to be different. Thank God, the world has changed, and there are countries that can defend themselves from Trump.
I fully back both him and Donald Trump.
Yes Mr President , there will be no more wars under Trump .End of November the war in Ukraine should be history .
Big up people of Botswana for such drastic measure of overthrowing the rulling party,, things must work under new forces… God bless Botswana god bless his excellency Duma Boko.
Botswana's PRESIDENT! Advocate Duma Boko🎉
