BOTSWANA
In Southern Africa lies the newly - independent, landlocked territory of Botswana which is starting on the painful journey towards nationhood.
The size of France and bone-dry, Botswana has a population of only i 600,000. Much of the country lies within the legendary Kalahari Desert, once home of the Bushman and the area where David Livingstone once set up a mission station and first brought Western education and ideas to a rural and isolated people. The future of Botswana seems to lie in the desert’s untapped mineral resources, and this jvay could lie industrial prosperity for the people.
A . documentary on Botswana, "International Zone: Let Them Come with Rain” screens from CHTV3 next Thursday.
“Dad’s Army” N.Z. style The N.Z.B.C. radio documentary “Dad’s Army: Meanwhile Back in New Zealand" will be heard at 10.08 a.m. on Sunday, not on Saturday, as announced yesterday.
