Quotes: "The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape
- Vaclav Havel"
My name is Bontle Tshukudu, a reporter for UB Horizon newspaper.It covers news affecting students and staff in university of Botswana.Its a practice ground for young writers to polish their writing skills hence gain confidence.
i will be covering election process in Botswana and ensuring that they are free and fair. For the first time in history young Batswana have registered to vote in large numbers. Some may wonder what really urged them to register in large numbers? Is it the pintch of unempolyment, under or misemployment, lack of sponsership to further their studies, or is it that now they know its important to vote? . The main question is can they rewrite history by voting for the opposition and have a taste of new party leading to braek monotony ? .
As a young person and first time voter , i just could not miss this opportunity this time around. Iam challenged to stand up and exercises my long supressed right : the right to vote. I was challeged by lack of sewage system in the townships of Gaborone, graduates with no jobs, no sponsership for brothers ,sisters and daughters who have done well in their O' levels, poverty in rural areas . As a i will be casting my vote , i will be hoping to answer mentioned key concerns in my life that is good sanitation, free education for all and creation of employment opportunities.
I challenge all youth who registered to vote to go cast it and as they do so bring it close to their needs.
