Botswana
There is something fundamentally flawed with so-called ‘democracies’ that perpetuate political, monarchical or tribal dynasty. In Swaziland where The Mswatis rule by decree, in the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] where the Kabilas cheat at the ballot box; the Bongos, the Kaddafis and the Mugabes who enforce their will using AK47s – we Africans have grown to tolerate dynastical oppression. But in a country where freedom, choice, multiplicity, tolerance, tranquility and respect for property rights are virtually a way of life, it is impossible to figure out why one political party, the Botswana Democratic Party [BDP] can exert such paralysing influence for over half a century. It is either the Tswanas are too naive or the Khamas are so incredibly good!
