4x4 Action Group

The party that has ruled Botswana for 58 years (since independance) , has lost the election and will be replaced by the opposition.

From Wikipeadia:
In Botswana's early years, its politics were managed by President Seretse Khama and vice-president (later president) Quett Masire.Since the Kgabo Commission in 1991, factionalism and political rivalries have dominated Botswana politics. The Barata-Phathi faction was led by Peter Mmusi, Daniel Kwelagobe and Ponatshego Kedikilwe, while the A Team faction was led by Mompati Merafhe and Jacob Nkate.When Festus Mogae and Ian Khama became president and vice-president, respectively, they aligned with the A Team. Khama effectively expelled the A Team from the party in 2010 after he became president. A new rivalry formed in 2018 when Khama's chosen successor, Mokgweetsi Masisi, became president. He opposed Khama, and the two formed a political rivalry that continues to loom over Batswana politics in the 2020s.

So will we have the same as Mozambique
Or stability atleast

Things were starting to go south already when we visited in 2015.
We were cornered by a so seemingly middle class crowd half drunk at Elephant Sands, during the Xenophobic attacks is SA. We had to keep our cool for 30 minutes, after which the said their political say and moved off.
So it is also simmering......

Am in Bots at the moment.
Khama Rhino Sanctuary was very cool, lovely camp sites spaced well apart. Saw a number of Rhinos.
Elephant Sands was a huge let down. The camp sites are on top of each other, but most people were very pleasant. Saw no animals while there. The roads between Francistown and Nata is terrible.
Last couple of days were spent at Senyati, again no elephants or buffalo, but it is the rainy season.
Tomorrow we are heading to Vic falls for two days.

So far all the people in Botswana have been very pleasant and accommodating.

More to come....

Went to Zim yesterday and to Vic Falls today.
