The Turkish glees, language barrier

The Turkish Experience: A Language Barrier

In traditional Botswana, a Setswana maxim states:

“Go tsamaya ke go bona (the experiences associated with travelling are immense and can be a good or bad omen),”
especially with Turkish glees.

Travelling exposes one to life's realities. Istanbul, a city that bridges Europe and Asia, is a treasure trove of history, culture, and exquisiteness.

Its stunning architecture, vibrant markets, and natural scenery make it unique. The past and present blend together, creating a captivating atmosphere.

Ryder Gabathuse, a Mmegi Staffer, recently visited Istanbul at the Turkey government's invitation to cover the fifth Turkey-Africa Business and Economic Forum (TABEF), where Botswana made its inaugural participation.

Istanbul is a major urban centre, full of enchanting experiences.
