THINGS THAT SHOCKED ME ABOUT BOTSWANA 🇧🇼 #travelling #africa

[candyhender]

Botswana my country, my pride! I love my country.❤❤

Gaborone is a proper African capital city, with a mix rural and urban. There were no labour reserves “townships” built like in South Africa. Just out of interest how many African cities have you been to?

[Suzan]

Am madly inlove with Botswana, just wish to stay there

Botswana was not fully colonized like other Southern African for e.g South Afric, Zambia and Zimbabwe etc... Therefore we had to build the country ourselves. Our forefathers worked hard for it to be where it is right now. Let me educate you about Botswana with regards to development. The British colonized Botswana but did not dwell much in Botswana because they deemed it poor and focused more on SA, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
So little did the British know we had loads of diamonds. After we got our independence in 1966, September we discovered the diamonds.👌👌We are the 4th leading 💎 diamond country in the world. We are also leading in trading 🍖 beef, which explains the cows roaming freely. Basically we had to start from scratch in developing the country. We had to do it ourselves by sharing the wealth equally which was acquired through the sales of diamonds and beef. Education and health were put at the forefront as part of the national development goals. Botswana public schools and the health system have some of the lowest fees in the whole of Africa.💕💕

One thing that I know about Batswana is that they're full of love

[yohighness]

I enjoyed the sight of cows when I was in Gaborone. They make Gaborone unique, like Texas. Besides, they are cheap lawnmowers. 😁

I am South African married to a Motswana from Botswana and lived in Bots for 4years. All I can say, Bots is still developing with great potential. People are so friendly and many r friendly to South Africans. However, u do find some who r xenophobic but its a small fraction, not to worry about. I love Bots their Safaris r top notch. I will retire and relocate to Botswana permanently.

The issue of animals in the city needs to be taken from a historical perspective. Bear in mind that before independence there was no cities. Botswana was even administered from Mafikeng and Gaborone was the cattle post of Batlokwa tribe of Tlokweng.

Comes independence, Batlokwa donated their cattle post, Gaborone, to the newly independent Botswana and mind you, the new capital was and still is surrounded by tribal territories, Kweneng to its West, Kgatleng to the North, South East district; under which Tlokweng falls under, and then to the South, you had your freehold farms.
As Gaborone encroached on the tribal territories, they had less grazing land and this is why you see animals in town.
The same scenario applies in the villages that are highly urbarnising ; they are transiting from an agro village economy to the modern economy.
So when you think of comparing Gaborone with the cities in South Africa, bear in mind that Gaborone is as old as independent Botswana.
So what you see in Gaborone now, by Botswana standard is phenomenal. Bear in mind that the developments you see, like the CBD area, did not exit just over 10 years back. I hope this explains some issues you raised about Botswana. Thank you.

As a South African, the cows in the CBD was scary for me. But mostly Botswana is a beautiful country and has beautiful people. People have land and they seem to use it productively.

[sohsibalikhulukadlamini]

I really like the way you are presenting the Country .... thank you so much

[bigsalas]

Well what shocked you about
that, I mean about cows, we have cows and goats in the streets of soweto As a za citizen I am extremely proud of Botswana. This country has come a long way and is moving faster than even South Africa, plus Gaborone is cleaner than Jozi, you know that right. Last but not least, the Batswana of Botswana and those of Mzansi are the same people.

Next time you should come to Kasane for boat cruising & game drive at cheaper prices. Kasane is one of the beautiful places in Botswana. This is where Meghan & Harry met when they toured Botswana. It is 60 minutes drive from Kasane, Botswana to Victoria falls, Zimbabwe...

[meshackgaolathe]

I am surprised that you could not see that culturally we are similar to South Africans. The shops are South African. Same cars and dress mode as South Africa.

[thabilemotsopa]

Batswana are generally warm and loving I'm married to one.
