BDP fails to create jobs for the youth
This embarrassing reality of the BDP leadership not comprehending the economy is signified by the President's chosen and highly drummed priorities. The President who has since modelled himself as the BDP/party policy has set his economic development priorities as Ipelegeng, young farmers fund, Limid, distribution of Chinese blankets rejects, backyard gardening and few other meaningless initiatives like housing appeal. In setting these as his economic development priorities, the President and his government have failed to dissect the country's economy, which has led to them failing to provide the best remedy for the current economic ills bedevilling the youth, hence the current high rate of youth unemployment. The daily episodes showing President Khama on Btv distributing blankets are taken so serious and given high prominence because the President and his leadership do not understand what to do to provide economic leadership, this being a result of leadership crisis in the BDP. Much time is wasted on nothing concrete by those who should be providing economic leadership.
BMC saga takes another turn

Judge tears Jamali apart in DJ Sid ruling
"It is unlikely that Duma FM management would not have communicated Leselwa's recommendation to its board of directors and it is thus unlikely that Jamali would have been as ignorant of DJ Sid's issues as he testified." The judge also wondered how Jamali, after signing the power of attorney and resolution instructing attorneys to represent Duma FM and defend the claims brought by DJ Sid, would have taken such a step without knowing or ascertaining the particulars of the applicant's claim. The judge also says in view of the fact that Jamali's brother, Mehdi Jamali, testified that Seyed took DJ Sid to his office on April 1, 2011, it is hardly likely that Seyed did not know who DJ Sid was as he would not have taken a complete stranger to his brother's office.
Unpaid bills land gabs fashion queen in prison
Thanks to her family, the fashion designer was able to go back to her event after family intervention that saw her debts of P18,000 at the hotel settled quickly to secure her immediate release.However, on Thursday Gaborone West Police told The Monitor that they have a pending criminal case of fraud against the well-travelled fashion designer. Officer-in-Charge at Gaborone West Police's Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Assistant Superintendent Tlotlanang Mogwase, said the hotel had reported that Chiepe paid them with bouncing cheques.However, Mogwase said they are still investigating the case, adding that they have also requested the bank to furnish them with information showing the status of Chiepe's bank account at the time she wrote the dishonoured cheques.On the night she was whisked away from her second fashion show, Chiepe had staged a similar event at Ditshupo Hall also in Gaborone.
Merafhe's health worsens
Even as he stood up 'The General', as Merafhe is affectionately called, did not utter a single word, as he slowly walked back to his seat supported by family members that included his wife. The recorded video, with clips capturing his illustrious 52-year career in the civil service, could not hide Merafhe's seemingly deteriorating health, despite the fact that this was an edited tape.Merafhe was later seen supported on both sides by family members, and wearing heavy clothes, as they ushered him to a warmer place inside the hotel where he dined with President Ian Khama.
