Motswana is a calabash

Nkgwana, the calabash, iselwa (in isiXhosa), ukhamba (in isiZulu), is expressed here as the epitome of the Motswana. All the way from the careful selection of the mix, the moulding thereof, and the baking, to produce a container that is resilient, that can withstand the heat of the sun, the torrent rains of the skies opening up, and possibly the accidental fall (I add).



For me it is the description of how the Motswana leads, and interacts with others, as well as how they pass judgement, and decide on issues of fairness and justice, resonating more with how I have always been taught, how best to lead.



I ask- it an authentic, African way of leading?- I find the above to be the common thread that runs across authentic African Leadership- What do you think?

You might liken the Motswana to the African gourd or calabash, otherwise, the 'nkgwana' in Setswana.
