Notes:

• Whereas Gaborone is pronounced with the G as a guttural ch (as in
loch
), the contraction, Gabz, has a hard G.

• People are often called by the names of their first-born with the appropriate title; i.e. Mma Barbara or Rra Robert.

• Botswana’s religious configuration is predominantly Christian (62 percent Protestant, 5 percent Roman Catholic). Indigenous religions constitute 23 percent, Islam, 0.3 percent and Hindu, 0.15 percent

The following appears at Botswana’s official web site:

The Republic of Botswana is situated in Southern Africa, nestled between South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

The country is democratically ruled, boasts a growing economy and a stable political environment. Botswana has some of Africa’s last great wildernesses, including the famous Okavango Swamps and the Kalahari Desert.

Botswana is the largest exporter of gemstone diamonds in the world as well as a large beef exporter to the European Union.
