Congratulations our southern African country for peaceful elections
As a South African I'm proud of excellency president Masisi for peacefully accepting the outcomes of elections. Africa is in need of such leaders.
This is pure democracy from the former president kudos to the new president❤
2:30 you could see that it is one of the old people who blindly follows the liberation movement. These old people are dying, the youth vote wisely. ANC should take notes
Point of correction UDC is not left
This year God is showing off in our country❤. We could never have gotten this far without his grace and mercy❤. Batswana ke a leboga🇧🇼🔵 we did it finally 🎉

Yeah, thts how we are in Botswana, you loose you move aside without any friction. We believe in peace.
I'm in South Africa, we still have the same ruling party but in this year's elections the there was no outright winner. We now have a coalition government.
