Two Bad Experiences I had In Botswana as a South African🇿🇦🇧🇼//South African UA-camr
Botswana's principal tourist attractions are its game reserves, with hunting and photographic safaris available. Other attractions include the Okavango Delta region, which during the rainy season is a maze of waterways, islands, and lakes. The tourism industry also helped to diversify Botswana's economy from traditional sources such as diamonds and beef and created 23,000 jobs in 2005.
Listen to this one: I drive through Bots through the Ramatlabama border headed to Namibia. Somewhere before Jwaneng I come across a temporary traffic checkpoint or roadblock. There were two signs on the road, temporariy signs because they were supported with stones right on a barrier line. The first sign read ‘Stop’ and the second sign read ‘checkpoint’. There is no police car, but there is one officer under a tree who started walking to the ‘Checkpoint’ sign. I am the only car there, it is deep deep in the middle of nowhere, no other car…basically it was my car and this careless officer. I slowed down as I approached the ‘Stop’ sign, this was the first sign you reach and about 200-300 meters away is where the police ‘Checkpoint’ sign is. Seeing as it was only myself, I only yielded at the ‘Stop’ and proceeded to the officer. Mind you my car is Namibian registered. I get to him and open the window and greeted before he could! He responded in Setswana asking for my license. I handed him my NAMIBIAN issued license but he still continues in Tswana…he asked me if I could read and I said yes! Why did you not stop there he asked and I mumbled something to the effect that I didn’t think it was that big a deal seeing as we’re in the bush, there’s no one else , no other car…just me and him, and trees…perhaps birds and lions. He instructed me in Tswana again, please go back beyond that stop sign and wait for my signal but first when you get there make sure you STOP! I chuckled a bit but he wasn’t playing games and when I saw his look I drove back to where I was instructed to drive. I then stopped; after a moment he signalled to me to proceed. When I reached him again he raised his hand signalling that I stop at the checkpoint sign. He then handed me a license and told me in Botswana we obey traffic signs, have a great journey! I wasn’t angry because he was right, technically…but I still laugh about how amusing that was. Being made to reverse then stop and then stop again when you are the only one on the road in the middle of nowhere, there’s not even a house nearby so I don’t know how he got there! My second story follows…
Both ur experiences have cops involved 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry about that. Ijoo, when it comes to a STOP sign at a roadblock make no mistake, they can even confiscate ur car and fine u on top 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ speaking as a motswana; we are also scared of them 😂😂😂 sorry about experience especially the Charles Hill incident where u even had to wait 2hours just to pay a fine 😢😢
I love Botswana as a South African.
Same here
….In this case I was guilty. I was driving over the speed limit when I encountered the police, just outside a town called Sekoma , again under a tree. There was a huge truck in front me but I had been far behind this truck and I was catching up to it. As I tried to overtake boom 💥 there was a guy in grey clothes and a white cap! Now as a South African and from my experience living and working in Namibia, you get used to seeing the police in blue, now there’s a guy with a huge white cap looking like a bishop of some church. I realized it’s a cop and his camera was on me, I tried to hide behind the truck…he Let’s the truck go and then he pulls me over. His partner was a young female officer who was so angry at me, you’d think that scolding was all the punishment I was going to get. But I was guilty. It’s a long journey from SA to Namibia on the road alone, the only driver and I was still young and a little irresponsible clearly. The funniest thing was when I tried to deny I was going fast as they not only showed my speed but they had video evidence of me trying to hide from his camera by hiding behind the truck….the truck also kept going left and right which made my movement very suspicious and funny, and not funny because I thought it wasn’t a big deal but rather because I saw how stupid I was trying to hide and failing at it, and my car was personalised. They hit me with a R2000 spot fine and I didn’t have it! I asked if they had a speed point device I can use to pay and the lady officer lost it again; ‘you drive that speed, you want to kill our people, and now you still use the word speed when we say you must pay! What is this speed thing you are asking for in order to pay cos as for me the only speed I see here is the speed I clocked you driving!’. They then gave me a ticket, my license and said that I must make sure I don’t cross the border before I paid. I had a problem in my hands though, I had withdrawn money and reached my limit for the day whilst still on the SA side. I had to beg for help at a filling station in Kang, they allowed me to swipe at their speed point and for R2000 all I got was R1000.00 , but it was enough to add to what I had to make the fine. At the last town of Charles Hill some 10-12km from the border I found a police station to pay. They told me the station commander was in Ghanzi, almost 200km away and that I must wait behind the counter because they were expecting me, they had been called. I was young and silly like I said so my car registration was personalised so there was no mistaking me. I waited a good 2hours for this big man to arrive and we all had to stand up like we do in court when we walked in, and I realized he is the guy, the big boss! He had one of those sticks big cops carry under his armpit, looked at us and asked what are they here for. The junior officer explained : these are detainees(so I’m a detainee?)…and all I heard in that confusion was something about illegal crossing of the border and stock theft and Namibia. So these guys were actually here to steal cattle! I stood up, errrr…I’m not with them sir I’m here to pay my traffic fine! So they steal animals while you’re here trying to kill other road users, people??? In the end I paid and that was my LAST traffic fine in Botswana and I won’t be getting another, believe me! Law and order is the way in Bots as it should be everywhere else!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
My cousin once threw a coke can put the window just after Sebele traffic lights - the cops followed us until Pilane exit and instructed me to drive back and pick up that can. They followed us back all the way to Sebele and we found ourselves picking all the cans around that place. I refuse to drive with my cousin anywhere to this day
yea...yall deserved that why are you throwing things out the car 😅
Would really love to visit Botswana and am glad i have a lil bit of firsthand information lollz
…my 2nd interesting story Bots. I tried getting home for Xmas but when I got the border they had just started closing and they told me I can’t cross into South Africa because the two sides close at the same time, there’s no chance there’s a line on the other side which would keep them open longer than they do! So seeing as Gaborone is some 120km away I decided to drive to a nearby police station, park my car and sleep. An officer work me up and said I could go park at the back of the station. He was very nice and so I parked there, reclined my seat and slept, so I’ll be home for Xmas but it will be on the 25th Dec itself. I parked next to a lot of cars behind the station but when I woke up the sun was up already. With excitement I started the car, and as I drove around towards the gate, an officer jumps right in front of my car, gun drawn. I stopped and held my hands up! He instructed me to park still holding his gun. He leads me inside the station, and I sat next to a group of guys and I would learn later that they were caught breaking into a house. They were taken deeper into the station to where I would like to believe was where the police cells were! I was next! The guy behind the counter asked the one that led me into the station what I was being arrested for, as he started writing out dates and things on the file. My guy just said he wanted to question me because he caught me trying to steal a car from the cars they detained as exhibit! I was shocked, I was only realising this huge misunderstanding could be a big issue here. This was a new shift, the guy that let me park the night before was off duty now and they innocently didn’t realize that actually this was my car! After checking my stuff they let me go, but with a different person or officer it could have been a bad situation because more often than not some people when confronted with such a situation forget that keeping your cool is very helpful when you’re telling the truth. But boy was I scared. Next story is how I was kept at police station in Bots, not in cells though.
I am loving your experience with Botswana, i cant stop laughing..please i am waiting to hear how you were kept in a police station🤣🤣
Tell your Pedi friend to come to Tswapong, there he will find many Bapedi like him.
The Tlokweng guy probably got scared because all money heists in Botswana there ‘s always a south African involved ! 😂😂 stereotypes
