Some of the Principles are: Utmost Good Faith – Requires the client to provide full disclosure of requested information to the insurer to enable an accurate assessment of the risk to be covered. Similarly, the insurer must disclose all relevant information regarding the T’s and C’s of the contract. Indemnity – Is a guarantee to restore the policyholder to the position they were in before the loss. The insurer commits to compensate the policyholder for the amount of the loss up to the amount agreed in the insurance contract. Subrogation – Is a legal right that insurers have to pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured. Third Party Liability Insurance is therefore highly recommended to minimize individual liability. Insurable Interest – a person or entity has an insurable interest in an item/event/action/individual when the damage or loss of the object would cause a financial loss or other hardships to the person. 3rd floor Exponential Building Plot 54351, New CBD • Off PG Matante Road • Gaborone Private Bag 00314 • Gaborone • Botswana Tel: +267 310 2595/368 6100 Fax: +267 310 2376 [email protected] www.nbfira.org.bw “NBFIRA...

  • The Sir Ketumile Masire Factor in the Making of Botswana As an ‘African Miracle’
    Botswana Notes and Records, Volume 50, 2018 The Sir Ketumile Masire Factor in the Making of Botswana as an ‘African Miracle’ Emmanuel Botlhale∗ Abstract Economic growth and development are associated with or caused by many variables one of which is leadership. The functional approach of leadership holds that leadership is not about an individual and his/her attributes. Rather, it is about a group and its attributes. However, it is unwieldy to focus on the role of the entire leadership in impacting macro-economic outcomes such as economic growth and development. Therefore, this paper discusses Sir Ketumile Masire’s role in shaping Botswana’s economic and development trajectory as founding Deputy Prime Minister, founding Vice President and Finance Minister and, latterly, President. It concludes that he provided leadership which very favourably circumstanced Botswana to become a relative economic and developmental success. In the process, the country earned accolades such as the ‘African Miracle’. However, serious macro-economic challenges such as persistent poverty and massive income inequality detract from these economic and developmental achievements. Hence, there is a need to determinedly address them to ensure prosperity for all or at least for the great majority of the country’s citizens. Introduction To establish relationships between variables (say X and Y), statistical concepts of correlation (associational relationship) and causation (cause and effect) are vital. Even though the two are related, they are also different. Furthermore, correlation does not imply causation. In this regard, a famous slogan in statistics cautions that ‘correlation does not imply causation’ (Mumford and Anjum 2013:1). Therefore, ‘even if there is a very strong association between two variables we cannot assume that one causes the other’ (McLeod 2008:1).

  • The Discourse of Tribalism in Botswana's 2019 General Elections
    The Discourse of Tribalism in Botswana’s 2019 General Elections Christian John Makgala ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5984-5153 Andy Chebanne ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5393-1771 Boga Thura Manatsha ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5573-7796 Leonard L. Sesa ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6406-5378 Abstract Botswana’s much touted peaceful Presidential succession experienced uncertainty after the transition on 1 April 2019 as a result of former President Ian Khama’s public fallout with his ‘handpicked’ successor, President Mokgweetsi Masisi. Khama spearheaded a robust campaign to dislodge Masisi and the long-time ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) from power. He actively assisted in the formation of a new political party, the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). Khama also mobilised the country’s most populous Central District, the Bangwato tribal territory, of which he is kgosi (paramount chief), for the hotly contested 2019 general elections. Two perspectives emerged on Khama’s approach, which was labelled loosely as ‘tribalism’. One school of thought was that the Westernised and bi-racial Khama was not socialised sufficiently into Tswana culture and tribal life to be a tribalist. Therefore, he was said to be using cunningly a colonial-style strategy of divide- and-rule to achieve his agenda. The second school of thought opined that Khama was a ‘shameless tribalist’ hell-bent on stoking ‘tribalism’ among the ‘Bangwato’ in order to bring Masisi’s government to its knees. This article, Alternation Special Edition 36 (2020) 210 - 249 210 Print ISSN 1023-1757; Electronic ISSN: 2519-5476; DOI https://doi.org/10.29086/2519-5476/2020/sp36a10 The Discourse of Tribalism in Botswana’s 2019 General Elections however, observes that Khama’s approach was not entirely new in Botswana’s politics, but only bigger in scale, and instigated by a paramount chief and former President.

  • We're in This Together
    Noteworthy The University of Tennessee School of Music, 2020 We’re in This Together In September 2018, the School of Music began celebrating the works of Ludwig van Beethoven as the 250th anniversary of his birth approached in December 2020. A series of concerts and events focused on the masterpieces of this legendary composer throughout the 2019–20 academic year. One of the feature performances was Beethoven’s 9th Symphony by the UT Symphony Orchestra and Choirs at the historic Tennessee Theatre in February 2020. From the Director I’ve always waited until the very end of the publication process to write these notes, and this year is no different. But that’s where the commonalities stop this year. Anyone who has lived through it (and as we know some have not) will never forget it. As an academic year goes, all was fine until December 2019. Little did we know the force the COVID-19 virus would place on our entire world. Then, although not a new phenomenon, George Floyd, unfortunately, became a household phrase. I don’t need to rehash the derailment both these events brought and continue to bring to our society. 2020 was a year no one in the world will ever forget, and it will rank for Americans like 1929, 1968, 2008, and we now all know 1918. We’ve collectively survived all of these challenges and in some way come out stronger. I believe we will do so again. For our School of Music, 2020 was one of great change, loss, and successes. Each is found within these pages.

  • President Festus Mogae: the Regent Who Became King
    A Special Issue on Botswana Notes and Records’ Golden Jubilee Volume in Honour of Sir Ketumile Masire President Festus Mogae: The Regent Who Became King Botsalo Ntuane∗ The watershed moment came on 4 November 1995. By the time delegates made their way back home, it was all over. In an extraordinary year, the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) had met twice in con- gress. Four months earlier, in July, the faithful had descended on the dormitory village of Mogoditshane for another bout of factional bloodletting. The congress came two years after Kanye, at which the polarity in the ruling party had reached crisis level. This particular congress came in the wake of the gravest crisis the party had ever faced. In 1991, in response to a litany of complaints about the performance of land boards, Peter Mmusi had initiated an investigation into the matter. Little knowing that the outcome would ensnare him, Mmusi, in addition, convinced President Ketumile Masire to set up a commission of inquiry to investigate allega- tions of impropriety regarding land allocation in Mogoditshane and other peri-urban villages. The findings that came out left a trail of political destruction and ruin in their wake. Chaired by a founding party stalwart, Englishman Kgabo, the commission found that though Mmu- si and Daniel Kwelagobe had not stolen any land or illegally acquired any land in Mogoditshane, Mmusi had committed an error of moral and political judgement in upholding Kwelagobe’s appeal for a certain piece of land in Nkoyaphiri. The two were not ordinary men. Mmusi was Vice President of the country and also Minister for Local Government and Lands.
