No amount of cheating or corrupt practices by the monied who think our people are purchasable should stop the winds of change that are blowing in our country. To those who want to exploit our people by giving them money to influence them to decide against a prosperous future for their children, we assure them that their approach will end in tears. Of course, our people need food parcels and money that our opponents offer them. Our message is; ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ; ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐จ ๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ ๐›๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐๐‚๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’. To all patriotic citizens, we need your votes in large numbers to form a new government for a new and better Botswana in 2024.As the BCP marches on we will, in the next 6 days (starting on Tuesday the 12th of December 2023) roll out a series of offerings and activities that will leave no one in doubt that ๐๐‚๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ ๐ญ๐จ ๐’๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐š.We will announce our candidates who just emerged victorious in party primaries and also launch a summary of our signature manifesto promises. These activities and offerings are a befitting celebration of the Borotsi - Lepokole victory. We are humbled by this victory which has invigorated our people to work even harder to save our country from the ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐›๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ž๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ž๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ and to save our country from the debilitating corruption, poor governance and those intent on selling our country to the highest bidder. We urge our people to continue to work hard and leave nothing to chance. Please talk to your families, friends and relatives this festive season. We need to build an unbreakable covenant as already shown by the people at Borotsi - Lepokole. Through this victory we hope Batswana will be disabused, once and for all of the false narrative being peddled by doomsayers and apologists of the moribund and corrupt BDP regime that โ€œthere is still no alternativeโ€. Of course there is an alternative; and ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐‚๐. We say to our people you are your own liberators and through you we will achieve Freedom in our lifetime!

His Excellency, Dr. Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi would like to convey his heartfelt message of support and goodwill to the media on the commemoration of the World Press Freedom Day – May 3.

His Excellency wishes to assure the media of his Government’s commitment to repeal the Media Practitioners Act and allow for self regulation by the media. The Government also remains committed to promulgating the Freedom of Information Act and promises that it will be brought before Parliament soon.

His Excellency emphasised that his Government values the media as an important stakeholder in our democracy. This is demonstrated by among other things the inclusion of the media in the Essential Services category during the State of Public Emergency. The recent appointment of the Press Secretary to the President is another demonstration of the commitment of the President to embrace the media as part of our democracy.

The latest World Press Index ranks Botswana at number 39 out of 180 countries and it is the aim of the Government to create a free and safe environment for the media to operate at all times.

Happy World Press Freedom Day.#WeCanBeatCOVID19#BWPresidency
