Self-reliance featured prominently in the development strategies of many African governments post-independence. One of the significant example of Self-reliance initiatives was a 1975 fund raising campaign championed by one of the Botswana’s founding fathers, Sir Seretse Khama, the first President of the Republic of Botswana. The campaign, code-named Motho le Motho Kgomo, which translates to One Man, One Beast (‘man’ to read generically) aimed at generating a substantial amount of money for the erection of key university campus facilities in Gaborone, the Capital of Botswana. The appeal sought donations in cash or kind, livestock, grain or any other form of contribution, and was premised on a number of pillars – an appeal to the national spirit for a national university; proof to aid donors and the rest of the world that in times of trouble Batswana can tap into their traditional value of self-reliance to build a national institution. As a results the campaign was successful and the university was build. This song (Tjinyuni babili) is a call for Batswana (and other nations) to hold on to the traditional values of self-reliance in nation building and community building by working together and help each other because 'Setshwarwa ke ntsa pedi ga se thata' Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka (Two is better than one) Bantolo baka leba kuti, tjinyuni babili nkombawogha tjowuluka (The elderly people well said, when they say two is better than one) Chorus Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Bonani nasi zwikwele zwaka bakwa ku tengesiwa ngomba; nkombawogha tjowuluka (See how they were able to build schools by working together, because two is better than one) Chorus Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Ku kokiwa mbizi; ku shakugwa dziminda, ku temiwa dziminda; nkombawogha tjowuluka (They used to debush their lands and remove weeds from their ploughing fields by working together freely without charges because two is better than one) Ku kokiwa mbizi; ku vukugwa dziminda, ku temiwa dzi minda; nkombawogha tjowuluka (They used to dig boreholes to water their cattle and debush their lands by working together freely without charges because two is better than one) Chorus Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Ndizo nditi atibateni tjilenje, tibakeni shango; nkombawogha tjowuluka (Let us hold on to the traditional values of self-reliance and build our nation because two is better than one) Chorus Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Chorus Tjowuluka *3 Nkombawogha tjowuluka Rap: Atibataneni, tithuseni bangwe, tibumbeni shango, shango yapalala (Lets Unite, help each other, and build our nation, our nation is going astray) Rap: …ooooohhhhhhhhhhh!
