HAS BOTSWANA AS A COUNTRY LOST ITS MANDATE
This symbol that was adopted in 1966,if we had stayed true to it we would be in a better position than we find our economy in today.
The Shield
Cogwheels: Represent industry and mining. 🫣👎🏽
Three wavy blue bands: Symbolize the importance of water.😢 👎🏽
Bull's head: Represents the importance of the cattle industry to the economy.🫢👎🏽
Sorghum stalk: Represents agriculture. 😒👎🏽
The Supporters
Two zebras: Symbolize Botswana's wildlife and its connection to the nation's economy. 😔👎🏽
The zebra is the national animal, and its black and white stripes represent racial equality. 🫡👍
Left zebra: Holds an elephant's ivory tusk, representing the country's natural fauna and wealth. 🤕👎🏽
Right zebra: Holds a stalk of sorghum, a staple crop representing agriculture. 🤐👎🏽
The Motto
P**a: Located on a blue ribbon, the word "P**a" means "Rain" and is a significant motto, symbolizing hope, confidence, and prosperity.
Nothing on that coat of arms is thriving.
-Mining and Industry is on its knees.
-Sorghum is not our staple food,we import it.
-Cattle populations has declined badly.
-Our flora and fauna has never been explored to is full potential.
-Water for human consumption and irrigation is still a concern.
-Our tourism industry is not in the hands of locals.
59 years later and we can’t show our forefathers nothing on the foundation they laid for us to build on.
Maybe we should update/re design our coat of arms,otherwise our kids will not relate to it.
