Brick by brick is not even an exaggeration. The fact that Batswana were selling their own crops and livestock to buy materials to built our first university chokes me up everytime. We did that😭😭😭

British article from when Botswana gained independence. “impoverished, empty desert land, economic misery” they said
we built this brick by brick!
British and Dutch colonialism in Southern Africa, while exploitative, was accompanied by significant infrastructure development. In South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana, they established roads, commercial farms, mining operations and functioning economies. Zimbabwe, for example, had a strong and productive economy prior to its collapse under Mugabe.
French colonialism in West Africa and Central Africa followed a markedly different pattern. In Mali, Congo,Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea, there was minimal investment in sustainable infrastructure or local economic development. They just stole, left, and left chaos and no peace behind.
That is why French colonialism was the most destructive in Africa — it took everything and built nothing.

I commit to be rude to every single one I encounter.
Oh, JHB! The digital nomads are coming. Soon they’ll be telling you how ridiculously cheap everything is in your city, moving in, driving up prices and making life increasingly unaffordable for the very people who actually live there. And nizokhala.🥹🥹🥹

They know. They always know. Remember when WITS PYA and SASCO “activists” went there on an “educational tour.” It seems a lot of people are spineless in the face of a passport stamp🙃
It’s lowkey an accusation and I’d be pissed as hell if I spent 9months building you a relative only for you to turn around and call me cheater😭

They explicitly say in the contract that they can’t use the information gathered from the rewards program to deny claims. If they are lying about that the you have legal recourse.
The only viable options here are B and D. We have established that four eight = 48 therefore one nine = 19 right? So it’s B
48
