One has to really make a concerted effort to learn about that other history.<BR/><BR/>Provinces are a real waste of resources and an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy. Real service delivery is happening at local level and that is where the skills and resources should be concentrated. This idea that provinces are autonomous is just a fallacy because they get their budget from the national government and Trevor Manuel is pulling the strings.<BR/><BR/>Governments don't care for a poor man on the street and it is about time they acknowledged and let the people know the truth. Anarchy is beginning to really appeal to me and it is somethnig that I am going to find out more about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229529511550721234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45592105194270782.post-11941680969622458892009-03-27T21:37:00.000+02:002009-03-27T21:37:00.000+02:00You really educated me here, I didn't know anythin...You really educated me here, I didn't know anything about the Batswana people being involved in slavery...<BR/><BR/>It is interesting to me that you want to get rid of the provinces... but then on the other hand you want to see a state-less society! Surely getting rid of provinces to moving towards *more* centralised control... not less?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453220932796951528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45592105194270782.post-3163584796498589512009-03-23T11:10:00.000+02:002009-03-23T11:10:00.000+02:00There is actually a good book on slavery and how P...There is actually a good book on slavery and how Pilane and them took part. It is called Captive Labour on the Dutch Frontier eds, EA Eldredge and F Morton. It shows the ever changing alliances of Batswana and what I found fascinating was that I am married into a family of ex slaves. A must read is also a historical novel by Botlhale Tema called The People of Welgeval. It documents how the Moloto came to end up in the former Western Transvaal. <BR/><BR/>There are the Moloto's in your township who ended being there as a result of slave trade. I have always wondered how my family ended up in the former Western Transvaal also and it is something that I need to research. There is also a possibility that we were slaves at one point also. <BR/><BR/>Bakgalagadi were on of the slaves to the Batswana hence if you one to belittle someone in Setswana you have to call him/her Mokgalagadi.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229529511550721234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45592105194270782.post-21323956612959142422009-03-23T09:00:00.000+02:002009-03-23T09:00:00.000+02:00Moremogolo, o tsa' kae dikgang tse? boLetsie, Pila...Moremogolo, o tsa' kae dikgang tse? boLetsie, Pilane and others, what were they? chief slave traders? Nnyaa, I am ashamed to accept that I have not read as much as I should on my own history. Regarding the matter at hand, I am equally fascinated by anarchy but my fascination was dealt a serious blow by that movie with Tom Hanks stuck in the airport because he did not have a state . . .MoAfrikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068303144147477716noreply@blogger.com
