@hbdchick@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord OK, that may be true, but democracy doesn't fill your belly -
@hbdchick what are you talking about ? the Tswana divided into (8 major) tribes in Botswana@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord -
@hbdchick@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord in very conflict-ridden Zimbabwe, the Shona are 70%, not vastly different from Tswana 80% in Botswana -
@hbdchick@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord well 70% of Shona-speaking, so that could be different from Shona-identifying -
@hbdchick@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord CIA factbook says 82% Shona in Zimbabwe https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2075.html … -
@pseudoerasmus@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord what are the relationships between the tribes there? (my whole point re. botswana!!) -
@hbdchick@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord salient issue in Botswana (after end white rule) was conflict between Shona & Ndebele -
@pseudoerasmus@Paradigmian@MrRobertFord yup. but i think structure of botswanan society is crucial. they are mostly 1 big happy family. - 12 more replies
