Should We Declare Friday Our National Colours’ Day Forever? Hon Olopeng.

Months before Botswana celebrated i’ts Golden Jubilee, citizens were encouraged to wear National Flag colors on Fridays. A lot of them, more especially from the Public sector and schools adhered to this plea, and every Friday the work place and schools were decorated with blue, black and white.

Now after making observations, the Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture has made another suggestion for the trend to continue. “Good morning. Last week Friday I went up north and I was so impressed to see lots of people still wearing National colors. What a nation; with great love for their country,” he said. Now the Honorable Minister is asking people to continue with the BOT50 culture.

“I now want to hear from you; Should we declare Fridays our national colors’ day forever?” he asked. Some people who follow Olopeng on social media support the motion, one of them had this to say, “It will be a good idea, some businesses will continue to have market on their local merchandises, it will encourage them to come up with exclusive designs.” Other people thought the Minister should be addressing more pressing issues like unemployment.
