Speaking at the launch of a signage for St. John Gospel Church in Tutume recently, Mr Batshu, also minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs said generally Batswana had been God fearing nation who uphold the spirit of botho, respect and tolerance towards one another.

That, he said had been a result that they respect the word of God and put it in practice.

He therefore urged parents to continue with the fundamental principle that was enhanced by the elders from way back even at the time there were not many churches like today.

Mr Batshu further added that by taking their children to church when they go for worship, parents would help their children to find a meaning in life.
