The Botswana Skeptic (or Sceptic). An unashamedly skeptical view on some of the things that affect us in Botswana. Everything written here is my opinion only, not that of any organisation to which I am connected. If I'm wrong, tell me so. If I'm right, well, you're clearly hugely clever and extraordinarily attractive.
