"The problem of Batswana is the system of living across three places; a permanent house in the village, and seasonally traversing between cattle post and ploughing fields. Live in the farm so that there is continuity, such that what a farmer practice every day is passed to children because they will grow into a farming environment."

"Let us make agriculture attractive knowing that in the end it generates income."

"We are poor because we neglected agriculture for too long. You cannot say you have food security if you are still importing everything."

"This is about human dignity and ensuring that no worker is exploited under our watch. We need transparency and accountability, especially in sectors where delayed wages and unsafe conditions are common."

"Many workers suffer in silence due to fear of losing their jobs. Labour inspections can help bring these issues to light and hold employers accountable."

"The presence of children in hazardous workplaces is not only illegal, it robs them of their future, children belong in school, not in the workplace with their parent. Education is a right, not a privilege."
