We're talking DIRT poor. Sure a few people are very wealthy so it looks good 'per capita.' But it's really a dirt country.

Some people will post pic related and say they're wealthy, but it's like the ONE building in Botswana lol.

I was not under the impression that Botswana possessed any degree of wealth

Their median income is also decentish, but it's true they have high inequality.

What's even the point of those fences?
They don't go all the way around, so they wouldn't deter people or animals - and they're not shading any kind of garden.
Are these cargo cult fences? Are they putting them up without understanding the purpose of such a basic thing? Surely not.

Wait, you mean an African country is actually super fucking poor? I can't believe this. I'm shaking right now.

I looked up Botswana's numbers. They come at number 97 on a list of countries by GDP per capita. Ahead of Peru, Vietnam and India. They have a lot of room for improvement. I am rooting for them for if Africa improves the world will get that much wealthier.

the irony of course is that the woman in your pic rel with her wooden hut, few goats, probably is practically richer than most of us here with our rented apartments.
She owns her hut, she owns her goats, she has children and self reliance and determination. She probably has healthy food every day, not goy slop.
Her leisure time is spent with her family and village daning and socialising.

She may not be rich but she is wealthier than me.

she looks healthier and happier than the 'rich' I see around here, driving their mercedes staring into their phones, working to pay the debt on thei 2 million dollar condo.

Who cares about other people being poor, a Westerner making $15 an hour is middle class in Botswana and can afford a nice house. I'm unironically considering moving there for that reason. I would prefer South Africa, but too much crime.

There's no deep reason to it it just makes the "yard" look smaller and comfier. Also these mud hut neighborhoods in Botswana are a lot nicer than the ugly corrugated shanty villages in South Africa and most other African countries. Even whites live in shantytowns in South Africa

in my country there are women who have a 10,000 dollar handbag, but who live in a 30m2 1 room apartment and work 12 hours a day and will never reproduce.
There are men who drive 100,000 dollar cars and live in 30m2 1 room apartments and who work 12 hours days and will spend their spare time eating ramen and playing vidya.
What is wealth.

Also wtf is pic related, I've never seen fucking botswana mentioned on this basket weaving forum in my fucking life yet today there's two threads both arguing a different side of the coin. Wtf.
