MANTLWANENG!

In setswana Mantlwaneng is when children play games where they pretend to be what they are not. Forexample one would be a 'father and the other a mother' in a house made of sticks. I liken this analogy to that of the Zimbabwean government. The only difference here is that kids know for a certainty that they are just purporting to be what they are not. I am not so sure the Zimbabwe government know the difference though.

However, if this is the case, then I am yet to see if AU really is genuine or they are also just playing "Mantlwane" like children. Something tells me these guys are real but that I can't at this jucture ascertain for a fact, except that time and tide waits for no man, its a matter of hours or even minutes before we know who our leaders are.

But then one would love to know what we would do? I mean us journalists and socialists, law-enforcers and leaders of tomorrow? Are we going to complain and do nothing or our we going to determine to see the difference in our political and social IQs. One leader whose name is worth this much said something that I found pretty comical, that a pen is not mightier than a gun, I am yet to see what is indeed mightier. I view dying for a worthy cause a migration to a better life and one thing remains, ones ideals never die with them especially if they were for a worthy cause.

Guys lets brace up and take our stands. Our pens, our mouth our intellect wields much more power than any gun! especially if you are a praying journalist like I am.

God is in control and In Him I am complete and I fear no man, because He alone is my Refuge!!
Godbless yol!
