title: Tswana Kgotla Assembly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A traditional Tswana (Botswana) public assembly at which a chief or
|
|
senior leader hears community concerns and deliberates decisions with
|
|
those present. The kgotla is the central institution of Tswana
|
|
governance and is enshrined in Botswana's national life.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Call the kgotla
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The chief or convenor calls the kgotla at the kgotla grounds. All
|
|
adult members of the community may attend and speak.
|
|
- headline: Present the matter
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The convenor presents the matter for deliberation — a dispute, a
|
|
community project, a policy — and invites responses.
|
|
- headline: Hear all voices
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Men and women, senior and junior, speak in turn. The convenor listens
|
|
and may question, but does not dismiss.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate toward consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Discussion continues until a consensus or widely accepted decision
|
|
emerges. The chief does not impose against strong objection.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce the decision
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The chief pronounces the decision, framed as the community's will.
|
|
It carries moral authority because all were heard.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is reached with the community's participation and consent,
|
|
carrying legitimacy that top-down decisions lack.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The kgotla is not a rubber stamp — if the chief ignores the assembly, the
|
|
form loses its power. Free speech within the kgotla is its lifeblood. |
