Cattle are the integral part of the tswana economy, it is used on all our traditional ceremonies, happy or sad. We use them to pay bogadi (lobola), when we send off our loved ones during funerals and also used as a form of bartery. We slaughter them as well during this ceremonies. For those born out of wedlock, when a new born is being welcomed we'd have a traditional party, the father's family will pay the damage (cattle) to the girls family for the irresponsible act of thier son, yet celebrating the new being that's unifying these two families (a new born child). That's a way of honoring our forefathers. We milk it, we use it to plough, draught power, we use it's hide as mats and or blankets. After colonization it was sold in exchange for various goods. So every family should have some cattle. It's a sign of dignity and power. Before diamonds livestock were the center of the economy, the backbone. SO EVERY FAMILY (household) CONTRIBUTED A FAT (healthy) VALUABLE COW TO BUILD THE UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA, IN A QUEST TO EDUCATE THE FUTURE GENERATIONS. THAT'S WHERE THE SAYING "MOTHO LE MOTHO KGOMO" WAS DERIVED LOOSELY TRALATES "EVERY PERSON (MOTSWANA) CONTRIBUTE A COW". Most our institutions were built through such contributions prior to that, schools in the villages, police stations or Kgotla. That we did locally to restore order in our small little villages. Traditionally a man who doesn't have a herd isn't fit to marry or start families, because (to us) it meant you can't feed a family. So if my brother is poor, I'd lend him a cow or two, he has to take care of them, breed them, milk it, and use them to plough. After years when I come for my cows I'd reward him with a good number to start with. It'd be inherited by his son(s). The system is called MAFISA We believed in creating wealth that lasts generations. We're patient, steadfast and loving. 🇧🇼

When Botswana gained independence the population of cattle was ten times more than humans', quality cattle. CATTLE BARON, that's who we are.
