s ’ D E note Hello SKY readers!

This issue of SKY Magazine is strongly influenced by Botswana’s celebration of her 50th year of independence. Botswana as a whole has a rich background and an interesting history. We are hoping this celebration reminds us all how proud we are as a nation of Botswana’s cultural wealth. To celebrate our 50th year, this issue brings you SKY’s Top 50 of everything! Fashion, music, tips, memes... you’ll find it all inside this issue :) SKY recently launched a vlog! You are all probably wondering what a vlog is, well, this is simply a Video Blog where we will be showcasing a series of interviews, tips and more! These videos will be uploaded on our Facebook page every week. Look out for the appearance of our lovely and beautiful Miss Botswana, Sadi and so many other teenage girls. Definitely something to look out for! SKY also has a teen radio drama called Matswaka Bae that airs every Saturday on SKY Live on RB2 from 12:30 to 13:00. Look out for the stories that need to be told to and by teenagers. One of the episodes might just be relevant to your current life situation. Make sure to tune in!

This issue of SKY Magazine is also a 3-poster special and we at SKY are happy to celebrate our top smoke-free moments too! We hope you all have stayed true to yourselves and stayed away from the bad habit :) Bots50 has definitely reminded me of how proud I am to be Motswana. As a country, we still have a long way to go in terms of music, drama and other forms of art. My dream for Bots100 is to broaden that industry and have more children and young adults taking part in artistic activities. Also, reduced crime, greater development in relation to infrastructure and education. A healthy, educated, talented, hardworking and ambitious nation is my dream for Bots100. If that doesn’t happen by then, then sooner!

Check out all the awesome people we spotted rocking SKY gear :D If you spot yourself on this page, you WIN a SKY T-shirt!

BW Women represent

Khumo Kgwaadira Tumo Seamolo The top bw woman who inspires me is Khumo Kgwaadira because she is one hell of a confident woman, she is friendly and I love the way she interacts with people. She is one awesome woman!!!! Karen Mamikie #Khumo_Kgwaadira - she goes out to inspire young lives through her new programme ‘’Who Am I’’. She reaches out to us young Batswana through it and helps us discover many things we were not aware about. The programme is her new baby and I hope it really blossoms because despite every challenge and criticisms, she soldiers on. I’m proud of her because of that.

Samantha Mogwe

Jacky Campus Samantha Mogwe - Wow! This woman inspires me. I love the fact that she is herself, she has this “Fire” in her that leaves me breathless. I want to be a singer and she has brought the best in me. Who knows, maybe one day she and I will make a song together... that would be really cool :)

Sadi Dikgaka

Nosquaredfo Nunu Kgeresi #SADIDIKGAKA, The lady really does her job with full energy not forgetting her sense of humour. The fact that she makes us glued to our TVs wondering what will be her swag hairstyle today, I admire her #livelyness Cto KidsBae Keatlhotswe You know there are two beautiful ladies who inspires me, namely SADI DIKGAKA and BOTHO (Botholicious) the RB2 presenter......the ladies are so welcoming, loving and motivating Quin Motië SADI DIKGAKA - my homegirl I love her to bits. Her sense of humour, kindness uuuSheem!!

over on the skygirlsbw Facebook page. Below are the top 6 women as voted for by the SKY Nation,

but not forgetting others like Mma Chiepe, Kgosi

Mosadi Seboko, Thata Kenosi, Gaona Tlhasana and Gogontlejang Phaladi! Big up to everyone <3

Tebogo Sebego Amantle Fenty Tebogo Sebego and the BW netball team... Tebogo is a fighter and every time she utters her speech itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always motivation and words of wisdom... her greatest achievement will be to host the Netball World Youth Cup... this is moving our country forward. SKY Also in sports, we at SKY love our girl Naomi Ruele for representing teens across BW at the 2016 Rio Olympics. You and the whole team did amazing boo, and keep pushing because this is just the beginning. BW will also host the Netball World Youth Cup in 2017 - holla!

Linah Mhohlo

Bonolo Mokomane Linah Mhohlo....a woman who has taught the young and the old how to cultivate discipline or positive attitude, who inspires masses to learn and grow. A woman who brings uplifting positive attitude to leadership hence creates a positive environment for the nation depending on her and assurance that everyone has a place and purpose. A woman of such stature deserves the most respect.

Unity Dow

Alone Micaela The top inspiring woman to me in Botswana is Unity Dow. She inspires me because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the first female attorneyst to sue the state regarding the law that sidelined women in marriages. I believe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold and strong for doing that.

The Free Education That We Are Given In BW Together With Da Free Food Makes Me Proud And A Lot Of Kids Around The World They Cant Have That:) The Most Thing That I Like Is That We Are Being Paid To Study When We Made It To Varsity. Bravo BW Im So Proud And Lucky To Be A BW Kid :)

We asked our SKY makes you a pro Here’s what

Othusitse Derrick Tlhakanelo

Batswana are great loving people, like one big family with various cultures that conceived values and norms which raised the country to what it is today. We define ourselves by those values, the Tswana names like Kagiso (Peace), Thuso (Help) say it all. Another thing I pride myself with is the country itself, the beauty and pristine areas we have here like the green wet pastures of the Okavango delta, dry Sands of the Kalahari. Can’t blame these tourists traveling distances to get a piece of what we have here.

I am an artist, a vocalist, and I believe one day I will wave the flag of this country at those unimaginable places of this world, as some of our local artists like Zeus and Nunu have already. O’ttie, a proud Motswana artist with a vision, I just love my country.

I can toss my sister in the air with no fear that she’ll meet any bullet in the air - our motherland has PEACE. My neighbours provide every need, that’s CARING. Our land is UNITED . . . that’s Botswana.

A big SKY shout out to Brandston Motlaleng, who told us he quit smoking thanks to SKY! Wow bro, stay fresh ;)

Y brothers “what oud Motswana?” t they said!

WAMI DLAMINI

BW is a country that is waking up to reality. The youth have slept on themselves long enough and are now taking things into their own hands. The energy in the country is tangible. Everybody is on their hustles rappers, photographers, designers, art in general is finally being put on notice. As a member of the youth I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the movement. Funny how things like trap and dabbing started the whole movement. But look at the unity it has brought for the nation. Unity and passion of the country is unparalleled, second to none. That’s what I’m proud to be from BW. #youthmovementtoobuﬀ

TIPS confidence! Here are some tips to help you feel confident! Different things work for different people – try them all out and work out which works best for you :)

Redefine failure

Failure is just one more step to success. No matter how many times you try and fail, never give up. Chase your dreams and stay determined. The more challenges you take on helps you learn that you can recover after failure, get up and push forward. Believe that you can achieve anything.

Be good to yourself

Don’t be too hard on yourself boo. Give yourself a high five when you accomplish something, big or small. Take compliments and believe them. Remember to do more of what makes you happy to stay happy.

Stay true to you

After identifying your sures and shapos, one way to have confidence is to stick to them. Know them and define who you are. Knowing what you want and what you don’t want can boost your confidence and help you have a stand when facing pressure.

Educate yourself

There is nothing more important than having knowledge about the world you live in. Knowing helps you be in a better position to be able to stand up for yourself and gain respect from your peers. Intelligence is beautiful and it will make you a confident person who will go far.

Gilded Sands

Aobakwe Molosiwa Gilded Sands is movement, fluidity and an inherent structured elegance lending itself to ageless grace. These are some of the many things that influence Aobakwe Molosiwa’s creativity which, for the most part, are intangible. These focal elements usually take the form of thoughts and ideas which morph into beings of their own. “Stretching me, moving me and working me in ways that I never knew I could be worked before,” he states. The end result from having completed a collection is never anything close to what he had first envisioned. The journey towards the completion of either a collection or a singular bespoke piece is always so much more interesting than the end result. Facebook: Gilded Sands Twitter: @gildedsands
