Ten feet tall and bullet proof! A friend
once told me this is how they referred to themselves in military school. That
is three meters. A man of this description under regular Botswana circumstances
resembles dimo! But I would use this
term figuratively to describe one of Botswana’s best specimens of the male
species, the man African leaders secretly want to be; His Excellency is a
downright sexy hunk!
Now, while you are busy going off on a moral
rant of how what you have just read is wrong in any shape, this is the opinion
of many who possess independence from conditioned minds as myself. The man is
sexy, lesa mona! Let me break it down
starting with his stance, yes the many hard military years have afforded him
the solid steady stance, but I know of many army men of honour ba le sesole se paletsweng ke go ba suga! Ba
nkgopotsa magwinya le mafresh a Pop In, if not amazingly round and
fat, they seem to flop over and jiggle about! A man must stand straight, back stiff,
chest out, belly in, shoulders broad, even and strong, ke gore erect! We all know how monumental an issue it becomes when
a man cannot achieve the latter; so why do you let yourself flop over on a
daily basis gentlemen? H.E. commands respect when he walks and he walks tall
ALL the time!
In fact, he keeps good time, ALL the
time. Nothing says you are a slob like being late. It says you do not have your
act together, you are all over the place, you do not know whether you are
coming or going, you do not value yourself, you do not invest in yourself, so
why should anyone else? Well, now you know why you seem to invest your time and
effort talking and at times dreaming about H.E. even when it is not worth
writing home about. The man is an enigma! How does he keep time running a
country while you cannot do it when o ya
go balancer diAccounts tsa Modiri’s Ego Enterprise? In many dot.com
settings, he is a hero, starring, ke
bosso! He is Rambo plus Van Damme plus Schwarzenegger. Die Hard! Ba a mo seba mme ba a ikoba ha a tsena; like
dogs barking at another from behind the fence. Hilarious!
And he does seem keen to die hard for
his beliefs. Firm and steady, he soldiers on in complete independence from
political gibberish propaganda speech and actions. To some he seems incompetent
to lead, due to his seeming inability to play the game as it has always been
played, filthy, tricky, and quite loud. So, he keeps quiet, they talk, he keeps
even quieter, they talk even louder, as though to awaken him from his boyish
innocence. But the Chuck Norris in him will not let him ruin the sexy in him.
You see, a man of few words is what I find utterly endearing. I have enough
words as a woman and frankly refuse to compete with a man.
Back to the hunk at hand; the boyish
innocence I write of is the very same one that separates him into a man. I like
a man’s man, that Bar One man, that seganka
sa go sugasuga seboko marapo a sala a le boloulou, kankarapa ya go bolaya tau ka
a mabedi! Okay, you get the picture. A man must be able to get down and
dirty, to taste dust and dress down. I am most definitely not a fashionista and I do have reservations
about men who tailor their suits to skin tight. I am more into the traditional
business suit type, if at all, if not, he better dress like a working man. With
‘working’ being the operative term, I mean a man that looks ready to change the
tyre of his car if need be, not the well manicured man that has Roadside
Assistance on the speed dial of his bejewelled BlackBerry. This man’s man I see
in H.E. When not in his Presidential office he is one of the everyday people he
leads. With his khakhi farmer’s vest,
he seems ready to skin a cow. In fact, so effective is this look that his right
hand men and others in Parliament are starting to look a bit like him, go setse afro.
On the famous afro, gentlemen; are you,
in any way, shape or form aware that hair is the ultimate indication of youth
or otherwise? The lack of hair says old! The lack of pigment says old! And in
the era of Khama, old-looking does not cut it with the ladies! Being old is one
thing, but looking it unnecessarily is another. Bogologolo go ne go tsohala yo
o ratang, but with double dip recessions go tsohala yo o palelwang! And you do
not want to appear to be struggling in life or on your duties as a man.
Barack o thuntse thogo jaanong gatwe ba gaabo ga ba dumele gore ‘Yes, we
can’, Mbeki ene e rile o nna thogo tshweu ga nama go heletse gone ho o, do you
see what I mean? A full head of thick well even pigmented hair says young and
able to produce; even if you swear by Go Black hair dye. It says you can
produce strong healthy offspring and we all know youth means energy to do any
and everything. Youth is sexy as some men will attest to as in their quest to
regain their youth they hunt for young women to affirm it. I believe they want
to remain relevant, young and still able to do anything, especially that other
thing. So ditch the cheesekop and let
a little youth into your life. If you are going bald, oh well, no comment, you
already know! H.E. wins.
One thing that will always make him much
more appealing is his active interest in life. He stays in balanced control.
Every woman, even the most sophisticated captain of industry women, especially
them actually, desire a man who is able to stay in control in his life. H.E.
can control the control. Bosso! He is
fearless, he does not take a back seat in life; he rides the Presidential car
in the front, he plays and rides dangerous things that can decapitate, bathong, he flies a helicopter, whether
it is his or not is immaterial.
He is daring, a bad boy of some kind and
women love bad boys and all the excitement they can add to our lives. For a man
to be a sexy man, a man amongst men, he must stand out from the ordinary. H.E.
is not a post, he is a man holding a post, never in history have we referred as
much to the man beyond the post of President as we do now. He is a whirlwind of
change and it has been said, ‘take change by the hand and lead it, or be sure
it will take you by the throat and drag you’. As you celebrate your
independence this year and forth, dare to live, dare to embody the best life, dilo makwati, be inspired by this
gentleman we call our President!
Be independent, independent of all
things unsexy, tone up, get healthy, get serious, get playful, be
inspirational, radiate youth, please be a hunk, Botswana has very few hunks, we
need some eye candy guys, and I guess until then, it is all eyes on our
President. I know my girlfriends and I are happy that as long as he is a hunky
bachelor, he is fair game to fantasise over! I concur!
His unforced power reminds of that of
Russia’s Vladimir Putin! Unmistakeable!
