 SADOCC - News - BOTSWANA: Constitution to be rid of tribalist clauses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The amendment follows a presidential commission of inquiry set up in July 2000 under former local government and land minister Patrick Balopi "to uphold the non-discriminatory position of the constitution on tribal matters." Sections 77, 78 and 79 of the constitution guarantee ex-officio membership to the house of chiefs only to the Tswana-speaking tribes.
It advanced the colonial inequality between ruling and subject communities to so-called principal tribes and minority tribes, whose rulers as sub-chiefs could be elected members.
The Chieftainship Act states that tribe means, "the Bamangwato tribe, the Batawana tribe, the Bakgatla tribe, the Bakwena tribe, the Bangwaketse tribe, the Bamalete tribe, the Barolong tribe and the Batlokwa tribe." These are Tswana-speaking tribes.

 Women in power 1900-1940
She was a forceful ruler, and reformed the administration of state.
Generally known as Queen Salote Tupou III, she was absolute ruler and President of the Privy Council, the 24th Tu’i Kano’kupolu and 1923-65 Head of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, the National (Methodist) Church.
Twice she was asked to leave, although as real ruling ruler she had not much influence, but her presence in Djeniloe as nominal-Ratu was a bit a disturbance.

 Black Prince: A Biography of Tshekedi Khama by Michael Crowder
When he finally became ruler of Gamangwato in 1875, he had made Christianity the official religion of the state, and had given the London Missionary Society a virtual monopoly of proselytisation in his country.
This of course, as he explained in his report to Prince Arthur, was an allusion to Sekgoma's step-mother, Semane, and her young children, `who as far as I have yet been able to gather, are left dependent on his bounty'.
If he were to be effective ruler of the Bangwato rather than a puppet of the Ratshosas, they had to be broken.

 Botswana // Africa's finest. Naturally.
The populations of these states were given the official colonial status of "tribes", a term still used officially today, under British colonial rule.
Except among the Tawana of Ngamiland, most non-Tswana groups were left in their own wards with their own chiefs subordinate to the Tswana rulers.
The Tawana state of north-west Botswana can be seen as having had the least successful "tribal" identity, with most of its subjects only coming to see themselves as Tswana in the second half of the 20th century.

 Index Man-Maz
He served first on his tribal council (he belonged to the Bangwaketse tribe) and subsequently on the legislative and executive councils under the British administration.
For a time in 1969 his promising political career received a setback when he was defeated in his home constituency of Kanye-South by the former Bangwaketse chief, but after spending some years as a nominated member of Parliament, he made a strong comeback and regained his seat in the 1974 elections.
The former military rulers and their henchmen managed to keep a low profile until 1995, when a guilt-tortured former naval officer recounted on television how he had helped to throw detainees from planes to their deaths in the sea.

 An African Success Story
Their electoral success in 1969, in which they won 3 seats in the National Assembly, was primarily due to an unlikely coalition between Koma, a radical, and Batheon, former chief of the Bangwaketse who resigned his chieftancy and ran for the Assembly.
Although the composition of the BDP goes a long way to explain its electoral success, there is a crucial tension between the nature of the party and the political strategy of Seretse Khama in the period leading up to independence.
Despite being himself a traditional chief, Khama seems to have been intent on constructing a strong central state that would not be impeded by the powers of traditional rulers.
