‘Africa keeps getting pushed down’: Botswana president on electricity, new age colonisation & future

While developed nations have benefitted and contributed the most to the climate change challenges faced by the world, the process to mitigate this is both unjust and unfair to poor nations that are also affected the most.
This is the view of Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who was speaking to TimesLIVE Premium on the sidelines of Global Citizen Now summit in New York.#southafrica

I traded well on my Demo account but when I invested in to my main account i lost all my funds. Please i need an expert to assist me with my trading. It's frustrating how people loss funds in this trading, I really feel so bad.

It's very obvious that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.

[@gabrielstephens-he3mo]

It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Emily Jason to reshape you portfolio.

[@Patrickwil55]

I agree with you, I'm not here to converse for her but to testify just for what I'm sure of, she's trust worthy and best option ever seen..

[@Patrickwil55]

I think.Its really needful for beginners not to settle for videos alone or they will see themselves losing all their money just like me when I newly started trading with this videos here on KZbin.

She's really a good investment advisor. I was privileged to attend some of her seminars. That is how I started my crypto investment 👏

[@mariahkamogelomoloisane6276]

This is the first time I have listened to the Botswana President for this long, and I must say that the Batswana are blessed to be led by someone who can articulate the challenges and solutions faced by his country, the region, and the world.

1st time for me to listen to an African president for a longer time like this...This man is a true leader, i like his intelligence and maturity

You will popularize our thinking, and we will respond in ways that makes us relevant and be equal in the table of solution of the world! You spoke on that one well done, protect what is yours.

Why cant we have a President like this in South Africa, a sober minded educated matured President

Tell former President Seretse Khama that Pres. Masire is a sober and educated President and you'll get a response never expected

Botswana takes pride in young leadership, going back to Kgama. How can we believe in a 78-year-old's vision for 2040, will they even be alive?

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

😂 im a white American just searching up Masisi for some reason (bc he was in the news for the elephant Germany thing) but it would be so crazy he have a president that talks this normal 😂

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

He is so nice he talks like he cares everything where I live is so theatrical and corny I don’t even vote cause it’s all paid for and disingenuous it would be so wild to me if they let someone this normal run for president, hopeful four years from now well get a real human president

[@jeromefrost6534]

As a Motswana from Botswana. Id like to say, we are where we are as a country because of our leaders and our relentless community. Much ❤

[@zazzleq6139]

Zambia will get a normal president when you remove freemasons and those abnormal things.

[@paulkaulinge434]

Aplouse to president masisi, restrategies the foreign policy of Botswana , he made Botswana to match along with fellow SADC country and Africa at large by breaking the regime of president khama that was manipulated by Western countries . Today the country is working hand in hand with its neighbouring countries peaceful . A big Aplouse 👏👏👏 on him

[@Enthujazztrini]

Sounds like a bright fella, but he must ask the American Military to leave .

[@TshumuKokgalagadi]

Concentrate on your shthole country and leave us to make our own decisions.

[@TshumuKokgalagadi]

Even if we had an American military base what the fk were you going to do?

[@georgemukamba]

He is speaking with a Patriotic tone - with a political will for development his country. One can tell that it's not propaganda (detached from reality). However African leaders need to watch against Carbon Emmissions rhetoric - it's the least of African problems right now- The western template on renewal energy replacement should be scrutinised before adopting it.

[@nombusodlamini7298]

I have always seen as a scam and a ploy to grab more land as theirs is weakened through their own "scientific processes". When one reads about the purchasing of land as "carbon sinks" in areas outside the West along with arguments for or against "climate debts swaps", EVs climate credits that are up for selling and tank overnight, you really see it for the scam that it is when you critically analyse the situation! They make no economic sense!

[@BelieveInMiracles888]

[@powlly5738]

10:19 👏👏👏 This is bold. It's what's called taking ownership of the task at hand. It's the kind of work that our leaders shun. They prefer to defer to their former colonisers or imperialist fellow travellers to come with the solutions. African leaders need to wake up

[@nombusodlamini7298]

It's a either or a mixed bag of laziness and not wanting to work as well as not wanting to learn in the process of getting things done!

We all have become by the grace of God. We all come on earth naked, empty handed and vulnerable. The mercy of God has provided the irreducible materials He has made us to find and transform. No one is strictly independent for we all depend on God who creates. We are created for interdependence where the blessings become mutual blessings. Unfortunately, Darwin with the fallacy of the survival of the fittest and other apostles of despair have transform the perception and conception of some as preys that must be hunted down. Let’s keep in mind that we come on earth with nothing in our hands. Therefore the things that surround us, should be a pledge of our hope. Because the cause, God is an eternal Being.

Why's African leaders sound reflection

[@DumaM-ir7rk]

If Africans can elect leaders on intellect not tribe this will work. Also the leader must work tirelessly for all ethnicities irrespective of where they came from. Leader must be corruption free and promote education and morals among the citizens. The leader must promise safety, health and education for all irrespective of race, gender or anything

I am a Motswana in Botswana…, this is a pathological liar… he is always casual like this when lying. After watching this, i realize how easy it is to lie to people that are distant from facts… 5:20 to 7:30 is the only truth he told because its political season here and he will win his second term from such. I cant wait for his second term to end so that we see what the next candidate has for us… Botswana has always been peaceful and nothing is going to change in the near future. The only thing that will increase is corruption and mal-administration facilitated by such liars. This guy and his 2 predecessors have done nothing for the country except for stealing from it. Botswana used to be productive, Batswana used to be patriotic and do for their country. Corporations that used to provide affordable accommodation for Batswana have been run down. Mines that were concession owned like the BCL have been run down. A coal mine that recently opened was run down and they are now trying to resuscitate it… there is endless amount of corruption happening under his watch…
