@theokhumoitsile It should start with Mo malapeng then it will trickle. Im working in an amateur film documentary about my family from Moleps, Borolong, Serowe,Kachikau and SA. Gware motgo a ikitse tota. Realised visual works better than written at times

Batswana should take an active role in documenting Botswana's history, culture and achievements. If we don't tell our own stories, others will tell them for us—sometimes inaccurately. Preserving our narratives is how we protect our identity, heritage and legacy for our kids.

@HistorySAZAR The way I was expecting a happy ending between them 😩

On 24 February 1962, a Coloured journalist Joseph Louw, 23, was sentenced to six months in the Johannesburg Regional Court for conspiring with Pamela Beira, a 19 year-old White woman to breach the Immorality Act. When Louw's attorney asked for suspended sentence for his client, he was told by the magistrate that the case was not a matter of sudden temptation, but rather the development of a close relationship. Pamela Beira failed to appear in court and a warrant of arrest was issued, but the court learned that she had left South Africa. In April 1962 he jumped bail and the couple later reunited in Dar es Salaam, Tanganyika (Tanzania). In 1963 Joe Louw was awarded a scholarship at Columbia University in New York. He majored in economics and then obtained an MA in journalism, specialising in television production and photography. In 1968 he was travelling with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., working on a documentary for the Public Broadcast Laboratory of NET. When, on 4 April 1968, the civil rights leader was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, Louw happened to be there and the dramatic photographs he took at the time were used all over the world. Pamela Beira married the Mozambican poet, revolutionary and politician Marcelino dos Santos. She was actively involved in the anti-apartheid struggle. Source: SAHO/Esat/Drum Social Histories

@tebogokhaas For a country who's capital city,Gaborone was ambushed by apartheid soldiers to kill freedom fighters and bombed us, where we hosted the first ANC congress outside SA in Lobatse, mochudi and tlokweng Chiefs hiding large amounts of weapons in their farms. Le nyatsa Botswana.

BEFORE YOU CALL THEM YOUR BROTHERS AND/OR SISTERS YOU MUST KNOW HOW WE WERE TREATED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES! Africa has 54 sovereign states, but only 3 countries hosted South Africans for an agreed period of time and it was all based on preconditions and restrictions: - Angola 🇦🇴 - Tanzania 🇹🇿 - Zambia 🇿🇲 Above were the countries that hosted South Africans with a clear understanding that, after sometime, they will go back to South Africa. Mozambique 🇲🇿, Lesotho 🇱🇸, Botswana 🇧🇼, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and Swaziland 🇸🇿 were transit countries. Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Egypt 🇪🇬 and Algeria 🇩🇿offered training camps for a selective period and soon after, South Africans had to return to the 3 host countries. Very few countries were in solidarity support, but never in financial support. BARE FACTS: 1. Countries like Kenya 🇰🇪 and Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩 used to deport any South African found in their country back to apartheid South Africa for possible death 💀 2. It is quite interesting to acknowledge that the liberation movement was once expelled by host nations, and it was then that Cde Kebby Maphatsoe lost his arm in Angola 🇦🇴 3. ⁠The liberation movement was also expelled from Mozambique 🇲🇿, Swaziland 🇸🇿, Lesotho 🇱🇸 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 4. Botswana 🇧🇼 didn’t even bother to host South Africans 5. While living in those host countries, South Africans were living in camps and they were not allowed to mix with the local people from those countries 6. They had to lease land to grow their own food 7. They had to build a school and a hospital which were fully funded by countries in Europe that were against Apartheid 8. Freedom of movement was at a minimum 9. Every South African had to leave the camp which was once every fortnight 10. They had to have a permit which only allowed them to leave the camp for only one hour 11. If they came back past the given time, they would be arrested by the soldiers who were stationed at the entrance of the camp 12. More importantly, there has never been a South African that worked in any country in Africa during that time 13. Living conditions were not good; Malaria, AIDS and other diseases killed South Africans as those diseases were very foreign and were non-existent in South Africa MORE FACTS: 1. In March 1980, PAC members protested in Tanzania about the living conditions and soon after, 17 PAC members were gunned down for protesting in a foreign country by the FFU Unit. This was a clear reminder that you don’t protest in a foreign country. 2. South Africans were very much aware that they were in those countries temporarily and they couldn't wait to return home 3. In 1977, the group of Tsietsi Mashinini that was made up of only 20 students was deployed from Somafco, Tanzania, to go study in Nigeria, and while they were there, they were welcomed with so much resistance. Nigerian 🇳🇬 students protested claiming South Africans are there to take their jobs and women 4. Not too long after that protest, in just 2 months, one comrade by the name of Joel, was poured with acid on his face. Not too long he died, and it was then that the group had to be recalled back to Somafco 5. Tsietsi Mashinini and Mvuyo, Mbuyiseni Makhubu leaders of 1976 Soweto Uprising dissapeared without a trace at University of Ibadan, Nigeria 🇳🇬 Angeke sikhohlwe! Re ka se lebale! Sehle silibale! Lest we forget! 🤞🏽 Article by Gloria Ogle.

@TwoStepFunk Bra 26, Nah Tumagole mogolowe Padi ne a nale Bana?

@MoabiLethabo Go right ahead, mminakubu.

Ke ba ga Mohururutshe, ka boammaaruri. M9huritshe ele first born ya ga Malope. Ka nako eo sereto e ne ele phohu. Ke sone se o bonang Bakhurutshe ko Tonota le kgaolo tse di mabapi ba bina phohu. Kwena e binnwe morago. Ke boammaaruri, baNtloedibe ga ba ise dikgafela le mokgalo.

@lordshipp a ko o mphetise ha Kwena, ka kitsonyana yame ke itse BaNtloedibe ba tswa from Phokotsea who was older than Motshodi akere? Was Phokotsea a woman?

@lordshipp Our history as Bakwena is like a Shakespearen play. Though young I grew up under Kgosientsho in the Moselele lands and heard the history ya lona. As a Mokwena wa mmina Kubu,re Bakwena ba Ga Kgofa thus the Kubu I truly enjoy learning my own version of our history

🙏🏽 They once tried to remove us from Ntloedibe, bone ba gotweng ke Dikgosi le makgoa a bone. Outside of killing us, that was their greatest effort to erase this lineage.

@lordshipp Would like to have coffee with you one day to learn more Kwena. I've always known that Ntloedibe is senior thus they don't take thobega to main kgotla. Grew up gotwe le Bahurutshe when in fact le the real Masilo's who were called Masilwana

O ntlela ka di facebook post😂😂. Afford this conversation the respect it deserves. Le ene Jeff ke mo isitse ko tlase to compare him to you because what rubbish is this. Ware Sechele ke ngwana wa ga Motswasele? Foh Kana ha o rata o kanna ware oka ganetsa bone bana ba tshika ye!

Jama Mbeki (1948 – disappeared 1982) was a South African lawyer and activist with Pan-Africanist affiliations, the youngest son of anti-apartheid leader Govan Mbeki and brother to Thabo Mbeki, who later served as the President South Africa.

@collinsndl17392 @HistorySAZAR May I please know the name of the book.

@HistorySAZAR So Nobantu is Jama’s daughter she also wrote a book together worth Moeletsi a very interesting read I must say .

@banyezus___ @nackyBW Near Manyana the village of Bikwe is a Xhosa village, who still practise their culture

@nackyBW I was today years old to learn this, always generalized Mogoditshane folks as Bakwena. Bo Manyana and Mankgodi I thought fall under Bakgatla baa Mmanaana.

Mme maXhosa re bantsi - Mogoditshane, Manyana, Mmankgodi le ba ko North. But yeah, if we go by population size other languages from the North should’ve come first. But if we go by “disadvantaged” groups bo Senaro should’ve made it first. Imo.

@banyezus___ @nackyBW Hlareseleele in Borolong is a Basotho village, there are large communities of Basotho also in Tlokweng,Mafia, Rasesa is a village of Bataung ba Basotho. Dutlwe is founded by Bataung ba Basotho. Xhosas all over, even Moleps has a vibrant Xhosa community.

@BogoloKenewendo And then Masisi?

As one of the founding members of the Kimberley Process, Botswana has witnessed first-hand how a credible certification system can do more than just regulate trade, it can safeguard governance, protect a nation’s international reputation, and deliver real development to its peopl

@HistorySAZAR South African born yes. Moved to Botswana and became a Botswana citizen. Died as a Motswana and buried in her home ountry Botswana. Thus Motswana writer Bessie Head

South African writer Bessie Head (1937-1986).
