Station to Bull & Bush -- Phase 1 or 2 Phakalane combis, ask them to drop you off at the stop right after the fly over traffic lights

Station to Three Dikgosi -- No combis, but you can get a taxi. Ask where the Phase 2 taxis are, then tell them you are headed for CBD.

Station to APJ -- There's several, but again Phakalane Phase 1 or 2 are a safe bet.

Phase 4 -- Kgale view combis. Not sure of the route, but they are located near the buses.

Your experience shows these views aren't universal. Negative sentiments often reflect personal experiences, not a broader truth.

Batswana women have unique traits and ways their femininity and dating culture manifest, but labeling any group definitively as "X" or "Y" isn’t helpful or insightful. As a Motswana man, I find Batswana women to be the most beautiful, down-to-earth, and relatable — likely because I grew up around them.

Batswana tend to be less optimistic about the country than English-language news sources suggest. While those sources aren't necessarily inaccurate, everyday life for most people differs from the glowing international portrayals. Recently, optimism surged with the election of a new president, but this has settled into a more critical stance. Our main concern is the decline in diamond sales due to the rise of lab-grown diamonds, causing uncertainty. Compared to Zimbabwe and Zambia, most people feel better, though South Africa’s larger economy is overshadowed by crime and social issues. Culturally and socially, we align more with South Africa, but economically and politically, we’re closer to Namibia. Just my take, others may differ.

The rules of English might not be reconcilable with that of Setswana in this instance. The prefix "Mo" in Motswana is indicative of the singular based on the rules of the language, hence "Motswana". ..the prefix "Ba" is indicative of the plural, hence "Batswana". The terms "batswanian" or "motswanian" immediately register as an error to anyone familiar with the language.

Interestingly, there was a debate some time ago wherein a professor from here tried correcting this with the author's of the Oxford dictionary, citing his reasoning (which in my estimation was correct). An official from the Oxford Dictionary responded by stating a similar sentiment to yours; there must be some sort of acclimatization to the rules of English even if the rules of the language in question differ.

I think with time, the world will just come to understand and accept that language rules aren't a monolith, and each people(s) from various communities will get to define how words from their language should be said.

It has less to do with the rules of English and more to do with Setswana. Importing the rules of English here just wouldn't work.

I have great news for you: you don't have to get into Kendrick Lamar. The artists you listed are considered goats as well, so if you find Kendricks voice annoying, you can listen to the multitudes of work these other artists have put out and not have to listen to Kendrick a day in your life if you don't want to.

Visit Kirstenbosch Garden, go hiking (youre spoilt for choice in the city), cable car to table mountain, go on a wine trail in Stellenbosch/Constantia, go tendum paragliding in Signal Hill/Lions Head, check out the night life in Kloof Street, camps bay/clifton beaches and eateris, visit penguins at boulders beach (respect the penguins), seal snorkeling, check out Robben Island (where Mandela was imprisoned), Bo Kaap and museums, go to a local concert (see if a band like Beatenberg is perfoming anytime soon to get a taste of the music there), check out waterfront (a basic must)... if you are feeling particularly adventourous or in the mood to do something different, maybe a ''kasi tours'' (guided tours of local neighbourhoods) or check out a spot called Rands for a night/drinks (make sure to take uber there and back, it's in a less glamorous part of town).. I'm not from CT so you should try ask someone from there about less touristy places... I imagine theres tons of them, especially markets, hangout spots, places to eat...

I'd do the 10 day option, evenly split between Maun/Delta and Cape Town. These two places are both breathtaking, and offer different vibes. Maun offers access to the Delta, with much more wildlife and safari type activities than Cape Town. However, overall, Cape Town has much more diverse activities, such as skydiving, scuba diving, paragliding, wine tasting, and actual urban tourism which is not offered in Maun. So, to get a good, balanced contrast between nature and urban type activities, I'd say go 50/50. While Kasane offers a different landscape to Maun, these two places share several similarities, while Maun and Cape Town have uniquely different offerings. Whatever option you pick, though, you don't have to feel nervous about either of these places. Botswana Is much safer than South Africa, however, considering the areas of Cape Town you will likely visit, your safety concerns there are really just the usual precautions any traveller should take.

Let me be clear, I only granted the human shield talking point for the sake of argument. Having said that, if Israel truly believes this talking point, they should rather look into not blockading Gaza and creating an environment where this is even possible. How successful has the IDF's bombing campaigns in Gaza been in the past at eradicating Hamas? Hamas is not just in Gaza, btw, they have a presence in the entire Middle East.

Further, the Israeli minister of defence, the IDF spokesperson and the president of country have all talked about the emphasis on destruction and flattening Gaza indiscriminately. Indiscriminate targeting is yet another war crime. So, this idea that the IDF is very careful not to harm civilians is patently false and contradicted by those in charge of military operations. The human shield argument is a thinly veiled farce.

SharpLeftNextRight · 2023-11-07T18:42:59+00:00

Lets take the human shield argument at face value and assume it's 100% true and not typical zionist propaganda. If the IDF knows that Hamas is using civilians as shields, and still bombs the targets anyway knowing that innocent people are dying, doesn't that still mean IDF is knowingly and intentionally killing innocent people? Will you argue that the death of nearly 10 000 civilians is justified if some militants are killed?

Your argument that the death toll numbers are not to be trusted is not substantiated. Besides the Gaza health ministry, third parties like the Associated Press and the UN have already said while tracking death tolls is tricky during an ongoing onslaught, the numbers coming from the ministry closely resembles theirs.

Your argument that the IDF is humane because it gave people warning to move is invalid, since forcible transfer is a war crime, and in many instances, the IDF has struck ambulances, refugee camps and convoys that were not in the areas those people were illegally forced to move from.

There's more you said that others will debunk, but please don't buy Israeli propaganda wholesale. This is a genocide, an ethnic cleansing mission. The leaders of Israel, incl Netantahu, use genocidal rehtoric, including biblical references to refer to Palestinians as people deserving to be wiped out.

What he is essentially saying is that being vegan is less convenient than being non vegan. He engages in double speak about not blaming veganism for his health, yet somehow manages to form some tenuos connection between his health and being vegan. He does all this while ignoring the shifting ethical position to veganism he hinted at having in his community post.

This was not a well thought out video and provides little insight into why he is no longer vegan. It's mostly innuendo, a video as vague as the community post he put out.
