I love Botswana and to watch the sun setting on the chobe river is amazing... I love to travel and to date i have been to 21 african countries and 61 countries in the world. We all should see the world and learn about other cultures. Greetings all from Ghana decided to bring my mom for her 1st visit to Africa.
Akwabaah.. Excuse me if I misspelt. Im going to Botswana. I have wonderful Ghanaian friends and enjoyed my trip to Accra. Have also been to Kenya and Uganda which was great. Not yet Nigeria. .
Xavier, I wished you had interviewed me while I was living in Botswana. Lol 2000-2008. Small world, I know Essau. I have a picture taken at his house with the Jamaican contingent at the time. What Essau didn't say about the weddings was how elaborate they are even when held in tent. I was amazed at the decor. Never seen so much fresh flowers at a wedding before. So much joy and dancing! Back home in Jamaica and loving it. Good to see you and your daughter Dr. Waugh!
Mrs. Monica Laughton-Walker. We lived on 14 White Hall Avenue. Donna and Ricky - Wilson are my cousins. Esau is my uncle my father's brother. Steve Waugh from Burke Lane.
If I met him on the streets i wouldnt tell he is from somewhere. He looks like us...Glad he stayed. Been telling my friend in the UK to come along with me to experience Botswana.
I found the same when I was in the Peace Corps in Cameroon. As a black American, no love. So I started telling them I’m Jamaican. And the love poured out. 😍
You Welcome. Makes proud to be Motswana from Republic of Botswana. The rightful driver is steering the Country Botswana forward. Such an amazing video.
I am glad that Mr Waugh has enjoyed his stay in Botswana. He didn't mention the club and festival scenes though. He didn't mention the annual Khawa Dune Challenge or the 1000km Desert Race (Mantshwabisi). If you plan your trip well, you could have a lot of fun.
Great interview...loved hearing about the cultural practices of Botswana. I've been to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. It's a really impressive sight and going boating on the Zambezi River is an exciting experience.
I love your interviews.Its amazing how Jamaican people can b found almost everywhere in the world.Esau is pleasant and so is his daughter.Be blessed ya'll.
Thank you Xavier. Another pleasant and engaging conversation as usual bregrin. Very jovial and candid. I have visited Botswana before. Very respectful and law abiding country. Respect Sir.
Blessed Love JCan Ole Farmer Esau. NUFF Respect King Blessings Everytime to Your Queen and Princess. Jamaica to Di World JAMAICANS are Every Where in the World.
Good 🌄afternoon Xavier Murphy. Happy Sunday 👍😊. Thanks for sharing. When are you going to an interview with Jamaicans living in India? 🇮🇳. Another good interview 👌
Esau Waugh, oh my God I have been wondering what happen to you. Xavier, this guy is a friend of mine. He and I were at JSA together. I would love to link up with. Tell him it Errol Williams (Rano).
I don't think I appreciate that when you talked about the people you kept showing pictures of destitute people. You're painting a bad picture of who we are as Batswana. This is the reason people outside Africa keep thinking Africans are poor, because of the pictures given in interviews like these. I'm sure there are poor people in Jamaica, but it wouldn't be alright if they were used to describe who Jamaicans are as a nation.
Mr Esau Waugh. Made a mistake stating that the big tribes have a problem of other tribes learning in their languages but the problem for the languages being taught is the government. The government is slow at pushing the system.
Good luck br Jamaica me don't love there any more stay where you are br my blessing s love Africa mother land me live here Nederlands 30 yes happy as a large pease an love sis en br
$7-10 for a burger is average for a none franchise place. Presently with inflation mangoes and avocados are $1+ in the US..so he better buy them things
Not really, it's to thank the bride's family for having raised her and to console them for losing their daughter (because once you marry in our culture you identify with the husband's tribal customs, your children are considered to be exclusively of the husband's tribe and even when you die you are buried in your husband's village). In terms of thanking the bride's family, in the tswana culture children are often raised by all family members in some way or another e.g. I lived with my dad's sister when I was younger and one of my brothers with our paternal aunt and the other with our paternal uncle, they contributed to our upbringing so when I get married my aunt is going to get one head of cattle in thanks for having brought me up. The exchange of magadi (the cattle) is in itself an actual marriage ceremony that is legally binding even to this day (we practice a dual legal system roman-dutch law and our traditional law) It's really not about the man's ability to provide because you can defer the payment, or pay in installments provided that the bride's family accepts that arrangement. Also in case of divorce it's meant to help provide for her but more especially for the kids.
Not like in the Caribbean though!!!, dem search me up bad when I show my Jamaican Passport, in almost every Caribbean Countries, it's very embarrassing.
@audley mclean Some of the Islands tends to do that when they know you’re from Jamaica.I know people who have experienced this. Bahamas especially. Keep your head up and know your worth.
