“We Have 2 Celebrities In Botswana, Kast And President Dr.Khama,” Setlhomo Tshwanelang
There is always that argument that we don’t have celebrities in Botswana, rather public figures. Maybe it’s because well known people around here live ordinary lives as compared to their counterparts in other countries. Controversial man Setlhomo Tshwanelang, has declared that our country has only 2 celebrities.
“Currently we have two celebrities in Botswana, Kast and President Dr.Khama. Those are the only two individuals who are followed by the media and their lives are under public scrutiny, we all want to know, what they ate, wearing, where they are- the rest are only famous,” he posted on his widely followed Facebook page.
Setlhomo said he hopes that his analysis will serve as a clarity to all those who have been confusing being famous and a celebrity. “Not all famous people are celebrities but celebrities are famous. We never had any celebrity in Botswana apart from our beloved President, now Kast has earned himself that term. If we are to misuse the word celebrity for every Tom, Jerry and myself, then where does Obama fall!” he concluded. The question remains, do we have celebrities in Botswana?
