One man - Seretse Khama - is on a mission to turn Botswana from the poorest country in the world into a real life Wakanda. Follow me: https://www.twitter.com/_b…

hmmmm
Love, love, LOVE from India to beautiful Botswana! 🤗🇮🇳❤️🇧🇼
Basically the Lee Kwan Yew of Africa, minus the Dictatorship.
Shit I forgot this was also the home top gear special
Botswana 🇧🇼 is what Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 wants to be
I did not expect such a positive outcome.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=358">5:58</a> this is one of the worst video I ever saw it is like 6 years old explaining things for 3 years old <br>The model countioue with your colicnal government <br>Seeks your natural recourses and depends on them <br>Make it such really only your party ever ruled but “guys this is democracy “<br>And rather then investing in industrial base just returned the money from seeking your natural roucess for the appearance of progress 90 precent education doesn’t matter if they vote the same and works all under the government if they could works
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=141">2:21</a> what you know you are just talking about the most fundamental type of economy in the world right “ ohhhhhhh just seeks our resources and then invenste while still using the old system “ this is really dump . The reason why majority of countries didn’t do that are either A didn’t have the roucess B they get rid of the whole governments I guess if you just maintain the cloincal rule for couple of decades shit should works out but this is not applicable for every case
I like the video, but there should be sources in the description
Brother most of Africa is still actively colonized by Europe, they're now allowed to use their own resources.
Bosnia and Herzegovina county
Switzerland Ireland France Poland Spain Italy Greece Portugal Norway Sweden Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina
South Africa
All lies
Absolute legend
No one talks about this country because it doesn’t fit the” Africa is a dedeveloping continent” racist narrative.
Their GDP per capita is lower than Mongolia 😂
2026: This is the project we are working on in Uganda. It is an uphill task though, returning nomalcy to the the country from the pronging hands of a 4 decade dictator. Certainly, when we achieve democracy, never shall we take anything for granted again.
Solo por curiosidad ¿ que hizo el diferente a Patrice Lumumba? Veo muchas similitudes pero no el final
Ironically Rwanda is doing the same thing.
Let's look at south Africa now, it used to be one of the most developed African nations but, now it's failing because of poor leadership and corruption
Who know the country called Nigeria?
😂diamond
Having a huge amount of gold helps a lot. The matter is just not mass stealing it and that includes fellow "oppressed" Africans too.
Take notes Burkina Faso..
I wanna grow up so I can save my country!!!
For me Botswana will always be "that country with that one flag that looks like That shirt I have"
País sem ideologia e sem corrupção aí ó dá bom, mas vai explicar isso para mentes pequenas, um dia visitarei Botswana 👏👏
Rule of law miss selling out and keeping relationship with colonizer
what is a random african dude? you referring to an African president that hes a random african dude? how dare you
Western principle and western common sense: encourage people to use their an-ses for purposes other than those for which they were made, and they shall be rich. Do not forget about sodom and gomorrah. anyway I am muslim alhamdu Llah and I know what is right and wrong.
Nice
Apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia supporters hate Botswana. It ruins their far-right narratives.
This would make an awesome video game though following game theory and supporting worker owned cooperatives would add a higher level of sustainability. In addition, a plan to transition away from mining would be critical since mining is a finite resource and very destructive to the ecosystem.
Ngl, these people are lucky America forgot to bring them democracy
❤❤
bro this man is like my 5th favourite political figure in the world. Respect.
1) Grow, 2) get rich, 3) get invaded by scumbags
why is he taking shots in rhodesia for no reason lmao
He was a African prince who got rejected for marrying a white girl, his rise to fame wasn’t that hard in comparison to an average jos
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=198">3:18</a> "Racism" is not the reason why Rhodesia invaded Botswana. During the Bush War, when the Rhodesia government was fighting against ZIPRA and ZANLA. ZIPRA had bases in the Botswana border. Rhodesian only invaded Botswana to fight those soldiers, but naturally Botwswana civilians got in the crossfire. So it was the Rhodesian civil war that expanded into Botswana territory and Khama was trying to push the conflict out of his borders.
So, don't be corrupt and let actually competent people in the government instead of your power hungry allies? Damn! What a wild concept
Why did you change the name?!?!?
One can make each country rich, if corruption, nepotism and the stupidity off the ruling elite can be curbed at a tolerable level!
Shout out to Botswana!!!
They could do so only because they were not flush with oil. Else freedommmmmmm 😂
Celebrate and support! I want conservative politicians from Poland and the USA to go to Botswana and show it as an example to follow.
hahaha, perfect ending
All they have to do is steal from the U S like Somalia did.
Very inspiring.
There is a reason on why Botswana is called in such excitement during Yakko's World
'But Richard hammond didn't want to hurt oliver'
whenever someone says "ohhh but zimbabwe was so much better when it was rhodesia i want to say that white people are superior to blacks but i can't say that so i'll just say this instead" i always bring up botswana, always seems to shut them up
Fucking Botswana same gender sex is legal shit shit
im not doing allat ✌
Awesome!!! ❤
Love Botswana ! <br>From belgium
Seretse was not a random dude for God’s sake, he was a Prince
See what happens when a country controls its own resources.
How to make any country rich in Africa at current setting, lets take Luxembourg. <br>Luxembourg has the highest GDP per capita in 2025, with an estimated $141,080. <br>Luxembourg's minimum wage is approximately $2,703 per month for unskilled workers and $3,244 per month for skilled workers, as of May 2025. after all taxes and social contributions are deducted, is approximately €2,000 to €2,100 per month. <br><br>In Kenya minimum wage is sh15,000 and that is 23 times to 17 times depending on figure you used before tax and after tax., <br>2700*130=351,000<br>351,000/15,000= 23 times. <br><br>GDP difference with that of Kenya $140,000/$2,000=70<br>70/23=3 there purchasing power equal 3 times on our scale. therefore 3*15,000= sh45,000. <br><br> LETS THEREFORE WORK IT OUT<br>One may get the sh 15,000 as salary .<br>plant your own kitchen garden to produce sh15,000. You eat what you produce so it become invisible income, slit sale and we are doing even great. <br>collective action to clean rivers and fertilizer to average sh15,000 in touchable income. <br>OTHER MATRIX: electricity cost lowered and the matrix turn on our side.<br> : good roads network vie token bank and we are doing even wonderfully. <br> : standard of living, it all narrow to this<br><br><br><br>WORK IN PROGRESS............................<br><br><br><br>.
Rhodesias better, diff.
From me
Beat racism and got white wife <br>Repulse apartheid mindset <br>Win election with near totality <br>Make nation corruption free <br><br><br>This guy completed all side quests.
Great video but why the dig at Sankara at the end?
Viva botswana
The biggest mistake you can make as a government is taking a loan, especially from a colonizer like the United Kingdom or their neo-kolonial entities like the IMF. You will never get out of it again. They will give you a high interest and make sure that the depth grows. When you can’t pay it anymore they will tell you, “what about your minerals and fossil fuels”. That’s how they turn an investment of a few billion in to hundreds of billions and even trillions.
Botswana is my favourite country in African since Rhodesia
Why did you put Clifford Dupont instead of Ian Smith? Smith was the Prime Minister and had more of a say than President Dupont.
Who lives in botswana
This was fine until you showed Sankara. Maybe he shouldn't have openly disagreed with the more powerful British but he was well on his way to achieving this before his life was cut down.
Singapore is also a success story, and it doesn't even have natural resources or much land.
It's really not that hard, you just have to care about your people black or white

Tunesia, Morroco, Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Djibouti, BOTSWANNNNAAAAA
Bro! Prince Akeem was really LIKE THAT🔥💯
It seems that Botswa is to Africa as what Uruguay is to Latin America .
They recently declared economic emergency. Lmao
Random African dude (a former king)
Turns out liberty, merit, free-market enterprise & individual rights aka the right, works great.<br><br> Meanwhile tyranny, corruption, orthodoxy & group-conflict aka leftist orthodoxy, is atrocious and leads to disaster. Who could have guessed?
Oh yeah, botswana so rich they match in hdi and gdp per capita the great powers such as wor torn libya or a barely breathing iraq and is coming to being equal with superpowers such as crime ridden, cartel ruled mexico or a ridiculous desert dictatorship that noone heard of like turkmenistan! Nice propaganda though.
it's almost like corruption is the biggest problem in politics
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=300">5:00</a> “not bad to some countries in the area” <b>shows burkina faso</b>
Basically: sell it to the jews so they make your population into educated slaves
We need to respawn this guy
noooooooo thing were going so good. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=317">5:17</a>
How to improve your African country after gaining independence: 🇧🇼<br>How NOT to improve your African country after gaining independence: 🇿🇼
If you believe this video you're a FOOL. This video is meant for white people to think it's easy for Africa to start a country without external intrusions. If you're African and believe this, you're a bigger FOOL
Some of us really searched for it and you know why
So Rhodesia did not “sponsor terrorists to invade Botswana” in the sense of launching militant groups from Rhodesia to attack Botswana en masse; rather, Rhodesia treated Botswana as part of its counterinsurgency front, seeing guerrilla movement presence or transit as a threat, and acted accordingly (sometimes aggressively).<br><br>Hmmmm
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslKKgYvVKU&t=361">6:01</a> wow, and not even a mention of how a lot of people only know it from the Top gear speci-
Y en ningún momento se volvieron un país socialista por qué de haberlo hecho estarían igual o peor que sus vecinos
I would like to remind you that Botswana was one of the few countries that did not persecute its white population, and this was the main reason why it did not join the group of Third World countries.
A pleasant film, unfortunately the stupid charges about Rhodesia and South Africa disturb the reception of the film
Pemerintah wajib nonton
Von Mises estaria orgulhoso 🥲
I want the same with Madagascar. It's a big Island on the side of Africa having major trade routes through its north and has good scope
I felt so patriotic watching this video. I've never even set foot in Botswana.
O que enriquece um país? Estabilidade. Com se consegue estabilidade? Mais democracia, mais livre comércio, mais liberdade religiosa, mais liberdade civil.
