  1. Botswana is such an amazing country and an underrated one even in Africa. After colonialism, the leadership under Seretse Khama didn't simply do as other post-colonial African leaders did i.e. he didn't go full marxist authoritarian and instead kept the institutions and socio-economic model the British had built up and even modified it. Plus, he maintained good diplomatic relationships with the west and due to his sound leadership, Botswana continues to be a politically stable and economically stable and growing country in Africa and this is despite being between two basket case countries of Zimbabwe and South Africa (Zimbabwe 2.0)

  2. God bless you for making this video. As an African (Nigerian, specifically) it saddens me how little known Seretse Khama is in much of present Africa. Many of us here are so quick to hail Gaddafi or Idi Amin or Abacha or Sankara or some other military thug as a "good leader" 😢. He was the greatest leader in Africa. He and Botswana's tribal leaders worked to improve their country by good socioeconomic systems and political systems. They enbraced and modified what the British left them and today, Botswana is among the most politically stable a d economically strong African countries despite having less land and resources than Zimbabwe and South Africa which are both facing crises.

  3. Botswana, along with Seretse Khama, is the most underrated African country and African leader. While the rest of sub-Saharan Africa turned to destructive socialist or marxist doctrine that ended up destroying their fledgling economies and semblance of national unity and many of these terrible leaders are still hailed as "Freedom fighters" or "Visionaries" Seretse and the rest of the Botswana leadership post-colonialsim rejected that and instead embraced the better aspects of what the British left i.e governmental systems and economic systems and improved on them! That is amazing! Despite the fact that Botswana and Namibia are next to South Africa and Zimbabwe, they have managed to not become s*it holes. God bless these two countries and God bless Seretse Khama!
