PODICAST Ep 75 -Dorcas Makgato| BDP defeat, Legacy Reflection, P30 million , Farming, Lessons learnt

[@GalaletsangMaakwe]

I listened to this interview from the beginning to the end. You are assertive, constructive, educative, forward-looking, mind bubbling, confident, visionary, and above all, very optimistic - I could go on and on. Keep it up . Go latlhegelwa ke ditlhopho ga se botlhodi. Ga o apalelwa. Batswana needed change, and they had to do what they did. It is normal across the world that when democracies reach maturity, change becomes inevitable. The people prefer to try something new with the hope of a better life. I loved your optimistic view about the future. Se sa feleng se a tlhola. Time will tell. The game has only just started. Carry on my gal.

[@aobakwemotlokwa]

mme yo has an amazing personality, she knows how to structure her words to get her point across 🔥

[@tshokolokubakuba2396]

Nna she is not my favourite person, ga ise ke rate her personality. She is too arogant for a parent.

[@blackgold3998]

It’s called being a politician 🙄

[@focusmoney7037]

Her explanation about CEDA clearly shows how they failed as the government, the problem you treated CEDA like private banks contrary to the formation of the institution. The lady remains a charming lady though, Mme their party failed Batswana dismally.

[@obakengkgalaeng6157]

I also want to know that ministers and diplomats who have powers to govern policies in high places are even allowed to get loans at CEDA, and is there no conflict of interest?

[@focusmoney7037]

@obakengkgalaeng6157 I don't think that is not entirely a problem as long as it's within the rules, mathata it is when you create the most bereaucratic entity in Botswana, purported to empower Batswana. But president Masisi said they have removed obstacles... Now former minister ene o bua something else.... Of course by virtue of accumulation she qualified.

[@JoyceMosweu]

The structures should treat all of you equally, so should the rules, no one 😂 should for once think he is above these and at the heart of these, should be the acknowledgement that you should serve the voter.

[@gaesimookettsi1214]

Very smart lady, articulate and wise the best sense of humor she has!

[@PatriciaChelenyane]

True.

[@blackgold3998]

Good politician isn’t necessarily smart!

[@gaesimookettsi1214]

@@blackgold3998being a politician or good politician like you say has nothing to do with her being smart, the positions she has held at the age that she held them at for me makes her a very smart woman,and again on her political path she has lost not once but twice so I wouldn’t really consider her being a good politician but as for how she takes her losses it’s the epitome of wisdom.if you listen to her well most of us could learn a whole lot.

[@boy_GB]

20 min in i feel like i can listen to her all day

[@audrey19058]

I remember the day i was handling some docs on Barclays letterhead in my ofc n i saw her name among the board , i said God this woman is blessed, n she is a woman, i also want to have n make a name for myself, i left ofc n straight to church n presented my prayers before God, God did his part, covid came did its part, i trust God will visit me again coz from employer i went back to working class😊❤❤i am hopeful. CEDA almost helped me, last minute they said they can only give me 50% of my request, but the 50% was not even the price of the machinery i wanted, n i had to start all over again, they sent me rejection letter, i never went back. May i should have persevered and looked for small 1 machine from China instead of the SA machinery i so wanted. Anyway life goes on, hoping for a better tomorrow.

Thought will watch for 10mins but can't cut it.......... Dorky is just a whole mood, her sense of humor is top notch..... ❤

[@AfriScents]

YOU MADE A VERY PERTINENT STATEMENT, GORE there is no concrete commitment by these big players with regards to P4000.00. You echoed exactly what I've been saying to those who believe the P4,000 minimum wage will have a positive impact; however, the reality is that millions of people, particularly in the private sector, will lose their jobs to meet this minimum wage. I PRAY EVERY MISINFORMED MOTSWANA COULD LISTEN TO THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE!!! IT IS A FALLACY!!! DE BEERS was doing what every imperialist does; they tried to silence the country. The talks to give Botswana a better share were a good idea, but the west will never let Africa go, so they did what they did.

[@vernonmosweu2807]

You seemed to be overawed by Makgato bcz you're BDP. Minimum wage will be paid. Makgato claims she employs workers. The questions are: 1. Who are her employees? 2. Are they Batswana or foreigners? 3. What sector is she doing business on? A. Is she Formal sector or Informal? B. Is she aware that the new minimum wage is for the Formal sector, not Informal? I'm asking these questions bcz she sounds like badly misinformed.

[@kamzamosweu2269]

Ijoo my people are too naive, what they have been saying about America it happened here in Bots but im still researching gore who is behind all this besides Kgosikgolo, time will tell. I hope im wrong.

[@onneilemotshidi4224]

Domi made a foundation for everything even for human capital. But it doesn't mean when I establish something new and different is still for Domi just bcz my parents are belonging to Domi. No. We might be coming from the same kraal but having different approaches and motives. That's politics. Domi ga e buse gape. We are not fixed to Domi through parents

[@obuilemangundu81]

Ha go bate o mo reetsa with Emotions! She’s spitting facts!

[@VictorJuniorVictor]

This fear of what will happen to those in filling stations and farms if we don't automate or whatever the case, is a hoax, this is why the economy is still not diversified, we are standing in the side of progress crippled by this fear, in her example, gore bana ba kae if she automates, why not diversify or scale up the business in other operations or penetrate the retail business and have natural batswana owned stores as an example, kana invest, engage consultants and o dire maybe smart farming, re nne self sustaining instead of relying on mzansi for 80% of import of vegetables, this is where the conversation is, and as youth we're beyond traditional ways of doing things Anyway, love this woman and her personality, thank you for your service to botswana and batswana, and thank you scar for your podicast, love it❤

Dorcas we love you, anyway i love n respect you, i strongly believe you are an honest n transparent woman, remember when one blows the whistle you have facts but may not be all truthful, but given audience we bring correct figures, yes my concern is you went thrice to CEDA, yes you were a paying client, but one or 2 should have been financed in place of the twice you went back, re bua ka banka ya batswana not USA. Anyway thank you for sharing your side of story, you are ready n honest like that.

I really enjoyed this episode

[@ronaldmatlho8442]

Granted Scar asked the right questions but there was no follow up to most of them. He gave her too much space to maneuver with the type of questions he asked, he wasn’t direct and didn’t call her out or the party. In such a rare interview with someone from the past ruling party he was supposed to go all in, he aggressive and ask her questions that require straight answers not stories as replies.. granted she’s a smart lady and knows her way around words but this could have been so much more..

[@laonerabothaako3391]

[@AfriScents]

I said YASSSSSSSSS to here stating FACTZ IN THE INTRO (FIRST 41 SECONDS)!!!

[@phboerboels4893]

You cannot say the current proposal ya minimum wage wa 4K will result in job cuts because companies are going to enhance their efficiency..its like you are against the idea of promoting efficiency in production..ke lona batho ba ba dumelang thata mo manual labor and its costing us because your focus is not to develop skills that will result in innovation and create jobs suited for the current market trends..santse le dumela mo dilong tsa bogologolo

[@tinashemaz4971]

she is spot on .its a fact economics dictates it if its not done right

[@phboerboels4893]

@ economic theory dictates that, holding other things constant, and that can only exist in a perfect market, which doesn’t apply in Botswana’s case..so let us not be subjected to theories that we ourselves don’t even know what they really mean, and their underlying assumptions

Our country is recognized because of the standards and values set by our forefathers, whether we like it or not did their job, they were not perfect but they pulled us through difficult times that our current leadership is lucky they will not face, the job is already done so it should be easily for the current government to succeed with their fresh ideas.

Would be fair if it was done after the first 100 days. She is now sounding like prophet of doom. Askies my lady ke tlotla botsadi. I blame Scar for this one ikatleng Pele, let's give UDC first hundred days before di analysis tse. With due respect. Santse Domi le yone batho ba resigna, left right and center, why? tota we need to give UDC benefit of the doubt. This kind of discussion e tloga e re kgobera maikutlo.
