So today’s quiz is - why on earth would the former President (and dictator) be writing ‘emotionally charged letter’ to the President of SAfrica, Cyril Ramaphosa….. From the weekend papers:

“The former President, Ian Khama, has written an emotionally charged letter to the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa. In the letter, the former President calls and advises Ramaphosa to sanction President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi for subjecting South Africa, her institutions and citizens to reputational harm and embarrassment- a letter which Ramaphosa is yet to respond to.

The letter comes when the two countries are still at loggerheads over the P100 billion case, which Khama’s letter is predicated upon. The South African Ministry of Justice and Correctional Services recently revealed that they demand answers on Botswana concerning the case. In his letter to Ramaphosa, Khama says: “I retired from office at the end of my constitutional term. I then duly handed over to my successor Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi. In handing over to Dr Masisi, I facilitated a smooth transition of power without any reservation or incident.“

Clearly then you neither appreciate nor understand any of the macro or micro factors at play in Botswana. Perhaps if you were not so arrogant and self-indulgent you might be more open-minded about reasons why CBM in Botswana has struggled to get going.
What I do know is politics, former Ministers and associated corruption, previous geological surveys conducted by US parties and paid for by both Bots Govt and US Govt, overseas visits by Ministry and BPC personnel to Aussie and US coal bed methane basins and plants for first hand looksee, non-logical continuous importing of expensive power and diesel when much cheaper indigenous power sources are readily available etc have more relevance to the discussion on this message board than pigs, dogs, puzzles, dreams, personal history and details etc.

Your self-indulgence is an extension of the degree of self-importance you attach to yourself and your thoughts and this is obvious to everyone on this message board. Most of what you post is as disgraceful as it is irrelevant and off topic and you have been asked by numerous others to cease and desist. If others were minded to humour you by befriending you they would send a private message.

Do everyone a favour please - talk about Tlou and things related to its progress and /or lack thereof. Show some respect to fellow posters please !

So you are saying there should be no blame attached to management of Tlou for a share price that has stagnated for over 3 years? Really ….

At least my offerings are related to the macro and micro view of Botswana, CBM, Tlou and it’s main market competitor.

Your views are related to beer, pigs, dog pooh, personal dreams, personal details, ….

Enough of your self-indulgent drivel man ! On the off chance anyone is interested, they know how to send you a personal email. Thank you.

Smith, wise up please!! This board is about Tlou. It is not about pigs, Poppy and Poppy Pooh, your renewal of frequent trader rates for petty cash amounts, sudoku, what beer you enjoy, marriage details and demise of loved ones, …. this list could go on and on and on.

What chip inside your head makes you think anyone is remotely interested in any of this personal guff you revert to posting when you have nothing else better to do.

I think everyone on this board has been more than tolerant towards you and your endless personal drivel. Enough is now enough !!

Oh so all you want is to have the last word.

Smith more of that tunnel vision of yours. You seem to be only able to focus on one thing at a time. Either it is eulogising Tony or criticising me. Why can’t you just admit what pretty much everyone on this board knows - you have not got a clue about any of the real drivers and dynamics about Tlou in Botswana. Fact !

Ministry of Minerals have refreshed their corporate brand and identity on Facebook, just out today. I love Timely Delivery the most.

Vision: to be the international benchmark in the development of mineral and energy resources for national prosperity.

Mission: we create opportunities and an enabling environment for the mineral and energy sectors to ensure the sustainable socio-economic development and opportunities for Botswana.

Mandate: coordinate and oversee the development of the minerals and energy sectors; promote the use of green technology which relate to, amongst others, the use of renewable energy, and cleaner technologies for sustainable development.

Core Values:
Safety - we are committed to the safety and security of all out publics and the protection of the environment.
Timely Delivery - we will be prompt and responsive to the needs of the people at all times.
Team Work - we are committed to working together to achieve common goals.
Diligence - we are committed to exceeding out customers expectations through being compassionate, courteous, self-less and professional.

Yup, you are right about the tunnel vision. Anyone that so blindly puts all his faith in one person sure has a bad dose of tunnel vision. Is probably why I like to use the sheep analogy here.

I will still settle for a PPA …. Not one that is tantalisingly close but one that is real and agreed and able to be used to try raise some funding from the lending market.

I assume we all agree on the necessary sequence of events here now. PPA, funding, connection to grid, gas conversion to power, top up solar conversion to power, expansion over time. Hydrogen will fit in with that as when and how that technology develops (this being the least understood part of the puzzle currently).
Bulk simply of gas to Orapa will also hopefully come into the mix at some point, but if that tender takes as long as the 100MW then there is a lot of talking debating and arguing ahead.
Smith - PPA first, funding second. Got that now?!
Smith - PPA is important. PPA was always important. Got that now !!

More dream selling Appi. I would settle for a PPA …

Maybe they sent a Note to Self reminding them to sell.

How long have you been following Tlou Whizzer? Do you remember the chat in 2017 about Get on board quick; No free float; Don’t be out over the weekend; ….

Smith, can I (on behalf of many on this board) as a favour from you. Please.

We are hurtling towards the 3rd quarter quarterly report. Tlou managed to pull a rabbit with the pivot to Hydrogen strategy and the Syngen pilot blah blah blah news.
Sincerely I hope Syngen is great, magnificent, stupendous. But all we are likely to hear about that innthe upcoming quarterly is whether or not they are on track for their IPO and securing funds.
So take that out of this quarters progress and what is leave for Tlou to discuss?
Gas to Power - that would be the PPA for 2mw scaling to10mw and poles and wires progress (if any);
Orapa 90MW - are we in with a chance on this?;
Solar - we are not connected to the grid so I don’t see solar raking front and centre;
Hydrogen - as above. My own view, Hydrogen may well be a game changer, but for now it is simply noise;
Wind - irrelevant;
So ….. just where in the world is Tlou going to make an impact?
Smith - could you do everyone a favour and just refrain from posting any of your usual ‘insightful’ irrelevance. There is nothing you have said or will say that we have not heard before. Repeatedly !! So please just do something we all know you find difficult - stay quiet, don’t post, and if you do post then don’t just say all the stuff we have all read before ad nauseum about how amazing St Tony is.
Please please please give others the chance to speak on this board!! You don’t have a new view or opinion so please don’t repeat what we have all read before and what we all know …. that simply you are losing or have lost your frontal lobe.
Cheers mate !!
Remember - just stay quiet and give others a chance speak !

Aye, you are probably right. Unlike the quality you enjoy sharing here.

Totally missed the point as usual. And back to front on who overthrows who - did you ever stop to wonder Why a former President of 10 years is now so seemingly desperate to overthrow his successor?!
Think it through mate - I can’t wait to read what weird and wonderful, completely removed from reality interpretation you put on it.

PS you kept thinking Molale and Sekaname are connected in some sense. They are not. Molale and former regime were dead set against CBM getting off the ground. Why would that be? Can you figure that one out as well? It’s actually a really easy one …. but again you will come up with some stupid ass about face answer.

PPS did you rush over to Like the market capn post by Morris earlier today? No… I didn’t think you had; even you are not that stupid - Gosh did I actually say that …..

So Brad, you can discount anything Molale said previously. Not only is/ was he lazy, but he had his nose in the trough.

And, just in case you are wondering about the relevance of any of this, this news article says more about why nothing gets done in Botswana in a hurry than you can ever imagine. You like to think you are clever by deriding my posts on the old v new guard; dressing up your attempted humour as impending civil war breaking out. Maybe if you actually had the humility to listen and perhaps learn, then you might start making sense of some things down there. But you never will; you just live in your own bubble in your own mind …. and sadly for the rest of us here, we get to laugh at your irrelevant posts and irrelevant opinions.
Keep up the good work; there is no fool like an old fool !

The Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) is struggling to prosecute more than 20 alleged corruption cases implicating former President Lt Gen Ian Khama, his brother Tshekedi Khama, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Eric Molale, former minister Unity Dow and Permanent Secretary to the President Emma Peloetletse.

The DCEC is also reported to be considering dropping investigations against Permanent Secretary to the President, Anna Peloetletse for her alleged role in the Capital Management Botswana (CMB) plunder of the Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF). The graft buster is also reported to be sitting on a complete investigation docket implicating minister Eric Molale. The Sunday Standard was unable to obtain the docket number and its details.

The cases are over and above the corruption case against the Khama family involving their dealings with the Botswana Defence Force (BDF). Former DCEC Director General Joseph Mathambo announced in November 2019 that the graft buster had reopened corruption investigations against the Khama family business, Seleka Springs. Mathambo said they had reopened investigations against Seleka Springs because it had emerged that the investigations were stopped unduly because of external influence.

The case brings to 11, the total number of corruption cases being investigated by the DCEC implicating the former president and his brother.

Tlou’s £1.5m market cap is at £0.0025.

Remember when I showed you the video link of Minister Eric Molale and his opening address at the Minerals Rwsources conference in 2019 when he said, and I quite (reasonably accurately), Gentlemen demonstrate to us that CBM works for power generation and we will give you 300MW of power generation ….because that is what makes sense …

Remember that Brad ? I mean, you should coz you picked up on it and off you went with your own interpretation that you have since immortalised as being central to your belief that TG is the smartest man on earth …

Remind me please Smith - since I would never want to misrepresent your (or anyone else’s) views on past events in Botswana on CBM….
Or anything actually for that matter….

Morris, I am very concerned that you have dropped your standards and are demonstrating signs of being off the pace re ‘on the ground’ matters in Botswana.

Why? Simple - headline in the Sunday Standard newspaper says: Masisi is himself personally responsible for irresponsible social media use.

Now you tell me what to make of that? Earning your fee mate surely means more than you reproducing tweets the company and its favoured followers push out there…. Dont you think ?

Have you gone and gotten yourself lazy? Or are you realising the reality of Botswana and your heart just isn’t in it any more? Or maybe you care to offer us a different and insightful reason ….

Coz let’s face reality here - you have been Poss Piir for quite a long time now ….
Isn’t it about time you disappeared the way of Buzz, Tidd, Andy, and the multitude before you …

Morris me old chum - you clearly have lost the entire plot if nudge nudge wink wink signals that such as you suggest is, yet a-bleedin-gain, time for Gentlemen start your engines.

A 12-15p share price prediction; an Independence Day tweet liked by some lackey in the President’s office, and you would have ‘your followers’ believe that is significant.

Mate, you are so off your game !!
