It’s a month since civil servants embarked on a national strike for a 16% wage increment. Even to date, the government has not promised anything positive to the workers, despite the late gruesome happenings in the country. Botswana is currently going through a revolution never seen before in the history of the country. Due to violence in public schools, all primary and secondary schools have been ordered to an immediate closure until further notice. As to when schools will reopen, no one knows. Until someone knocks some sense into our leaders, this beautiful country will go down, down, down and deeper into a mess from which it won’t easily surface.
