Those who do not have the genuine love of their country must realise what burden they are to the rest of the country. Those who participate actively in organising the masses have on the contrary, personal gain as their primary aim, are doing more harm than good. Sacrifice is needed now as it has never been before; each one according to his means or ability. Not all the intellectuals who have a stake in the country are putting their shoulder to the wheel. They ought to be in the van-guard of this political up-surge of Bechuanaland. Some are in the Republic of South Africa where they are making a first-class living. It is obvious that they regard their personal security as more important than the future of their homeland. Some who are in Bechuanaland now and have made a few abortive attempts at this or that venture, have now -resorted to politics, and are using the masses of the people for gaining their personal ends. They have become dangerous demagogues making a vain bid at power, with which to hit at existing, albeit legitimate, authority. This latter gategory of intellectuals uses anything to cajole the ignorant masses into joining their ranks of political confusion. It is natural to have different parties of different ideas and approaches to the problems of the country; that provides a valuable interplay of Ideas. But to make people believe, for instance, that Britain has done no good for the country for the past By Non-Partisan 70 years or so, and therefore every white face must budge, is to make a travesty of the truth. Had Britain not stepped in 70 years ago, where would be the freedom that is the special pride of the country's people? Today Bechuanaland is in the unique position of experimenting on multi-racialism, a policy which will be no extra money or police to enforce. It is for the sincere politician, who wants to make Bechuanaland a better place for human beings of whatever colour, to present the facts in as objective a manner as possible. The shrewed politician should take advantage of the available resources SERETSE KHAMA and aid, and realise that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. If the whites (who are mainly British) must go, (and go with the money) a vacuum will be left into which the forces of mischief will miss no opportunity in entering. The question then will be, which of the two devils is better ? Is it the one we already know and have learned to live with for all these decades; or the new devil with revolutionary changes that strike deep at our foundation? Not that it is imperative to have a master; but since we cannot go it alone at this critical time, we must have the help and guidance of an experienced partner. Britain is our salvation; we must swallow that in spite of all bitter memories. Let bygones be bygones. We are going through the most challenging times in the history of Bechuanaland; m o r e challenging than when the country was threatened by Paul Kruger's expansionism of the last century. This time is more challenging because the future will be decided by us; if it is an unhappy future, you will only have, yourself to blame for no having supported the clear-thinking leaders of today. The political arena of today does not exclude the services of the chiefs. A special tribute must be paid to three chiefs who sought the Protection of Queen Victoria. We owe to them the privilege of being a free society that we are today. The successors of those chiefs have inherited that honour, and now have a special duty to perform, namely, to be the stronghold of democracy. Continued on Page 5

PAGE TWO THERISANYO - CONSULTATION ~TOBER, 1964 HOW TO BE READY FOR THE PARTIES OWE BECHUANA EXPLANATIONS Now that the country is fully assured to have self-government next March many people are wondering just what will happen and what political party will they support. At present we are informed that there are four parties which have registered their identification colours. Mr. Khama's party has red; Mr. Motsete's white; Mr. Matante's yellow, and Mr. Mpho's green. These colours will be shown on the voting cards on polling days. It should be expected that all parties will soon begin to run up and down the length and breadth of the country, telling the electorate many many things and pledging themselves to do wonderful things should the electorate put them into power. The ways to be ready can briefly be stated as follows: ATTEND ALL PARTY MEETINGS Although one may have decided which party to support, one should attend all political party meetings to hear their different ideas, pledges and promises. If one is unwilling to hear a party which opposes one's own, it is a sure sign that the person is afraid of changing his or her mind. This wouid mean that a person is fear ridden and to go to the polls with a mind full of doubts would leave the particular voter uneasy about his or her decision. A SK GENUINE QUESTIONS The potential voter should ask as many reasonable a n d intelligent questions as is possible. If the leader or chairman of the meeting is willing to answer the questions, though the person asking the questions may be belonging to a different party, then that particular leader does show that he is not afraid. The party that does this is practically certain to have support. I repeat, the questions must be reasonable. The questions should be asked anybody who is competent to answer them intelligently. They should not be reserved for political parties meetings, important as this is. FORGET TRIBAL PREJUDICES Tribal sentiments should die and the voter should elect a candidate who in his or her considered opinion will serve the country well, be he white, brown or black. DISREGARD SOCIAL STATUS Next to tribal sentiments is the social distinction. The idea of "whose son are you" should be discouraged, though it is realised that it is an idea that will take many many years to die out inspite of the many exogamous marriages today. THE ROLE OF THE EDUCATED The educated minority upon whom the illiterate majority depends f o r reasonable leadership in all spheres of life, will have to be particularly dareful not to be swept off their feet by the petty jealousies com- GENERAL ELECTION By Makepeace Ogready mon among them than among shep. herds. If they let personal grudge run away with them, they will be doing the country a disservice. No one knows better than they of importance of being objective and dos. passionate. This may be too frank, but it is true. LET THERE BE NO CONFUSION Confusion may arise among voters but that will be the result of thefailure of the leaders of the par. ties to get the masses to understand fuly what all the problems and how they can be solved. Mr. Daniel M. Shamukuni, former headteacher of PandaMatenga School in the Chobe District, is one of the Bechuanaland teachers at present studying in Britain. He is doing a course in education at the University of Bristol Institute o f Education. Mr. Shamukuni is one, of the overseas readers of the 'Domkrag' mouth-piece.

THERISANYO - CONSULTATION Whither Bound Bechuanaland If I were asked to say what the purpose of government was I would, as a devout democrat, say that it was, above everything else, to promote and maintain the liberty of the individual, which is no doubt the basis of any democratic society. To be in a position to promote and maintain that liberty government must have sovereignty or supreme authority. That part of government machinery that has the power to say what may, or may not be done is the supreme body of any state, and it is the respository of this abstract concept sovereignty. In Bechuanaland this sovereign organ will be, or should be the Legislative Assembly that we shall elect in March next year. The sovereignty of the Batswana state will not rest with the People's Party, the Independence Party, or the Democratic Party, which ever will win the general election, but rather the supreme authority wil 1 be enshrined in the whole Bechuanaland Parliament embodying the different political views held by the various political parties represented in that Parliament. That should be the sovereign in the state of Bechuanaland. TYPE OF GOVERNMENT DETERMINED BY POWER OF SOVERREIGN The sovereign body must be strong enough to make itself obeyed, but, and this must sound paradbxical, it must not be so strong that it can do just as it will. It is on this nature of the power of the sovereign, on its extent that governments of the Advertising Ta r iffs DISPLAY ADVERTS Full Page ...... R40.00 I Page ...... R25.00 I Page ...... R15.00 J Page ...... R 8.00 CLASSIFIED SMALLS 2c per word - Minimum 30c. By Democrat world are classified into democratic and autocratic types. The distinguishing qualities of the former type as opposed to the latter are as follows: (i) all adults should have an equal share in the choosing of the people who are to govern; (ii) a large number of the citizens should take part in the actual work government; (iii) the will of the majority, acting through the government, but not as a party, (this point must be stressed) must be obeyed, failing which the government has both a right and duty to meet any defiance of its authority with all the power at its command; (iv) a democratic government will allow all its subjects to citicise its actions freely and openly, and will provide in its constitution for regular elections to give the electorate the opportunity to change the government if it so wishes; (v) the economic and social structure of the nation must be such as will allow equal opportunity for all citizens to elect, share in, and criticise the government of their country without fear of victimisation. THE RIGHT TO CRITICISE ESSENCE OF DEMOCRACY Perhaps emphasis might be laid on the fourth of these distinguishing qualities between democracy and its counterpart - autocracy, namely, freedom to criticise the government in power with impunity, without fear of recrimination in any form. But any such criticism as is levelled against the government or party in power must be constructive, and responsible, that is it must not be subversive, seditious or treasonable, it must not tend towards promoting seclusive, tribal interests, as opposed to national ones, (this latter must be stressed, particularly for Bechuanaland). All criticism must aim at effecting a change In government by constitutional means, through persuasion of the electorate, and by offering more enticing socio - economic programmes. POLITICAL TRENDS IN EMERGENT AFRICA Much is being said of the one-par. ty states that are emerging through. out Africa, in which the ruling party (the word "govern" would be inap. propriate to use here) permit of no action of its actions. Why, in fact, this one-party states in emergent Africa? There are two possible answers to the question. Either the Wester Democratic ideal is not acceptable to us, namely government by persuasion, by consent, by argument and the power to present a convincing case; or on the other hand we must admit that we fail, when we fall into the minority, to constitute a responsible opposition that looks forward to becoming the next government. It is likely that the one-party system in Africa is a result of the minority parties' failure to play their responsible part in the machinery of government. Perhaps they turn into irresponsible and rebellious factions, and in this way force the hand of the government to adopt an uncompromising attitude towards them, jailing some of their leaders for life and banishing others. WHITHER BOUND BECHUANALAND At this point the question that forms the caption of this essay may now be put: "Whither bound Bechuanaland?" The answer can be provided by the party that should win the coming first general election for self-government next year. Will the party govern by persuasion and consent, or by imposing its will upon the minority? And what of the loosing parties? They too can provide a positive answer to our problem by constituting themselves into a responsible opposition, not a rebellious and seditious faction that talks glibly of guerilla warfare. Otherwise the sovereign body will be obliged to exercise its right and duty to maintain law and order, and in that way be forced to repeat in Bechuanaland the oneparty pattern of the emerging African States. Once more - "Whither bound Bechuanaland?" Perhaps the parties election manifestos are being drawn up even as I write, and we shall soon have the answer to my question. OCTOBER, 1964 PAGE FOUR

The creation of this House must not be regarded only as a compromise between traditional authority and the popular will; the two are vital components which must sink their differences for the sake of peace and progress. Finally, while Bechuanaland is a nation with a tradition of its own, we must not close our eyes and ears to new experiences and exotic practices. Some good can come from contact with foreign ideas. We must weigh the pros and cons of a thing and not condemn on the mere basis of tradition. There is the challenge; it is to you whatever you are. What service are you rendering to Bechuanaland? Ke M.

The sitting of the college at Moeng did in fact not only deprive the people of Moeng of their natural sources of water supply but also the other nearby villages were also affected. The new Moeng Village now draws its water at a spring called Matimpole some three or four miles of a very steep climb over the intervening hill. The alternative water point is at Raholo. During good years the villagers can repair, if for a limited period, to the "masenyane" found here and their ploughing area. The, new Village settlement does not, by its scattered nature, deserve being called a village, in fact at the village site itself you can hardly count as many as fifty huts, a state of affairs enough to make one reluctant to accept the statement that the villagers can number anything up to 1,000 people. T h e y are scattered over a vast area and a section of them has settled at Lerale much against the wish of their Chief.

This represents 73% of the total potential voting strength of the Territory. The Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. George Winstanley has announced that a supplementary registration of voters, is being organised to give people who have not registered an opportunity to do so. The supplementary registration woull continue until the 31st December, this year. Details are being worked out for this supplementary registration. It is likely that all the District Commissioners, District Officers, Education Officers and Livestock Officers will be appointed as Registration Officers.

Two young men from the Youth Section, Hendrick Stegling and Main Kgopo had volunteered to accompany me and were therefore a team of four including the driver. Starting at Ranaka, we covered most of the villages on the Eastern part of the Ngwaketse District and crossed into the Ngwaketse Kgalagadi Constituency, along the Molopo and went as far as Bokspits covering a distance of 1,357 miles in 14 days and held meetings in 28 villages and sub-villages. Continued from Page 6 Mr. Readon suggested that any help that Government might consider would depend on their first settling the bill with the driller. Whilst still endeavouring to clear the bill for the borehole, the people embarked yet upon another project, viz, the putting up of a school. The young regiments were called upon to erect a school building and parents were entreated to meet the salary of the teacher by paying a fee of ten cents per child per month. The school is run as a prvte and has an enrolment of 60 pupils. An application for its recognition has already been made to the Bamangwato School Committee. Coming back to the question of water it was recently agreed at the meeting of the Bamangwato Water Development Committee, that the provision of equipment for Moeng Village water supply be placed amongst the top priorities of tribe's water development programme. It was suggested some of equipment could be removed from some boreholes which had become unserviceable. All the committe does is to recommend and the putting into effect of its recommendation falls to the lot of the Water Division of the Department of Public Works which, as can be expected, might find it By P. M. Sebotho On the 10th - 11th, I addressed meetings at the following places Ranaka, Lekgolobotlo, Ntlhantlhe, Magotihwane, Kgomokasitwa, Molapowabojang and Digwana. The turnup was very good. The audience averaged between 150 and 200. Though we never had a branch or a representative in some of these villages, nonetheless, the enthusiasm and attentiveness of the audience made it abundantly clear that the support of Bechuanaland Democratic Party in these places, was strong and definite. There w a s nothing mentioned in favour of the other ri- difficult to save this particular project from the tangle of the back-log with which the Department appears incapable of coping. Meanwhile the poor headman is turned the subject of continual attack by the villagers who are being led by anxiety to feel that he is not sufficiently strong in representing their case to the authorities. I have had several visits from him and each time he has come to enquire of me when things are likely to turn up, and each time I have assured him that something was being done by the "Molaodi" to see that they got the equipment in the not too distant future. It is regrettable that no quicker way can be found to save all those who had and are having to do with this matter the harm to their reputation, which must necessarily be the result if a section of the p u b 1 i c should loose trust and confidence in them. The very fact that the headman employed harsh method to get the people settle their debt to the driller and this coupled with the promise that they were given by someone in authority is enough to make them doubt his sincerity. It is desirable that as many as need help should be given it, and how much more is it so, where a section of the community has made a commendable effort to help themselves. val parties "Rona re Ma-Domkrag". Questions asked were good and reasonable. Throughout the trip, my theme was, "Why are you registering as voters?" And most of the audience would shrugg their shoulders as an exppression of uncertainty. This immediately gave me the green light to give a clear explanation about registration and election procedure and pointed out to them that all this will depend on their decision. The government that will rule them, will be the government of their own creation and when I developed this theme into party politics and hammered my points into place and put it to them that the final choice to follow B.D.P. or B.P.P. rested with them. I was every tine greeted with a thunderous "Tsholetsa Domkrag". On Saturday the 12th, I addressed meetings at Gathwane, Mathethe and Metiobo, wtare over 30 people at Metlobo took membership cards tsholetsa!

PAGF EIGHT THERISANYO - CONSULTATION OCTOBER, 1964 Report of Ranaka Bokspits Trip Continued from Page 7 around Magoriapitse and Malore area visiting and seeing members of the party. I went to Mafeking on Monday and spent the day doing Therisanyo. We left Mafeking for Phitshane late that day about 6 p.m. in the evening and arrived Phitshane 10 p.m. On Tuesday the 16th, I conduct 2 meetings at Phitshane, one at Leporung and one at Tshidilamolomo then left for Mabule where I was joined by that indefatigable worker of the party, Moroka Pitso. The people at Mabule are working very hard, not with their brains only, but with their hands as well. They have cleared a "Domkrag" road about 300 yards long. they are now planning for a "Domkrag Centre". We held very successful and inspiring meetings with Mr. Pitso that day, he was in fact an essential reinforcement in those areas. We left him at Tlhobolo; and made for Werda 77 miles away, I would have liked to touch both Marnewiek and Lee's Farms, but the time-table could not permit. It will be necessary during the registration period to detail a registration officer to go through these farms. We arrived Werda 10 p.m. on the same day of the 17th. The following day, and on the two subsequent days successful meetings were held and completed in the following places Werda, Makopong, Khisa, Tsabong, Bogogobo, Gachibana and Bokspits. Molopo is definetly "Domkrag", the main worry is "Documents of Naturalisation". Most of the residents along Molopo were born in the Republic of South Africa, they are therefore aliens, they cannot be registered as voters. These people strongly regard themselves as "Batswana" and no doubt they are feeling bitter about the whole situation. It will be advisable to detail a competent man along Molopo to explain to the people how they can obtain British paswsports peacefully. From Tsabong on Sunday the 20th via Werda, we made for Khakhea, arriving there about 9.00 a.m. on Monday the 21st, This being the first day of registration, we had no difficulty in getting the people together, and we were able to do Khakhea, Mabutsane, Sekoma, Maokane, Mokhumma, and Lehoko in two days. The turn-up was also good except at Mokhumma. I would suggest that a non- stationed registration officer be detailed to go through these settlements including Mochumnia 'and Tsonyane. In conclusion, I venture to say that I have no doubt that Bechuanaland Democratic Party has the masses behind it, the only thing needed is political education of the masses to save them from the confusion of the splinter parties, and as far as possible our President to visit as many places as he possibly can. People just want to see him. This fact was most prominent at Tsabong. So many of them had travelled several miles to see their leader. If I had space in the van people as far afield as Bokspits should have come to Tsabong to see Khama. "The cry is, we want to see Khama" Tsholetsa ! Lekgowa le Araba Mr. 0. M. Lesetedi Ke Mr. W.
