#JustIn: The Botswana Congress Party (BCP)'s Joseph Bagwasi has won the Sefhophe Ward by-election with 800 votes, beating the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), which garnered 705 votes.
@BlackCarpet_ZA But why has Botswana's business environment not produced more competitive manufacturers in the first place? Could it be that the structural conditions in BW are not conducive to productive businesses emerging, surviving and growing?
@Slim_Cash_Becky@bkciti I hear you, but cost of living and market value are two different things. A degree gets you through the door, your skills, problem-solving ability and experience are what grow your value. Entry-level salaries are a starting point, not a lifetime salary.
@Slim_Cash_Becky@bkciti A fresh graduate with no professional experience is still learning how to apply their knowledge in a real business environment. The salary range is modest, but it isn't necessarily exploitation.
@Thato_Reekae Choosing a wife based only on her body shape when pregnancy, childbirth and age will change that body is like buying a car based only on the paint job and ignoring the engine.

@justnyxs Robot dinosaurs armed with missiles, lasers, advanced AI and enough titanium to build a small city, defeated by a woman carrying pointy sticks. Strategic indeed...
@Typical_Tshepo Take the chance. Food, clothes, entertainment and the basics in Botswana are very expensive. In diaspora itโs the opposite. Only rent & bills are expensive. Mme hela ha o kake wa thoka dijo, diaparo le molora
@theokhumoitsile Can the DCEC, EID, and DIS truly investigate 80+ senior officials independently when some still influence the very institutions investigating them?
