This..
Everybody is looking at the giant face. I am looking at the FLATTERY.
Because people with money understand something very well:
If you want access to someone, study them.
What excites them?
What feeds their ego?
What makes them feel important?
Find that thing and you have found the door.
And this picture bothers me.
A sitting President.
A school and clinic carrying his name.
Then a gigantic sculpture of his own face, presented by a businessman whose relationship with our politics has already raised serious questions.
Heelang. 😭
Maybe everybody else sees a statue.
I see somebody who has studied his audience.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving beautiful clothes, expensive watches, luxury cars or looking dapper.
Enjoy your Gucci. Admire the Bugatti Mr President 😊
The danger begins when personal prestige becomes somebody else’s easiest route to your heart.
Because once I study you and discover:
You love luxury? I bring luxury.
You love praise? I praise you.
You love your name? I NAME THE SCHOOL AFTER YOU.
You love your image?
Yah ne!
I BUILD YOU A WHOLE FACE. 😭😭😭
And while y’all are admiring the face,
I am studying the person who built it.
What does HE want?
That’s the conversation Botswana should be having.
Because flattery may be cheap to the person who can afford it,
but VERY expensive to the country whose leader enjoys it.
And Christians, I have an uncomfortable question.
At what point does honour become glorification?
And when does glorification begin looking uncomfortably like idolatry?
Look at that sculpture again.
A gigantic image of a living President towering over people.
I am not telling you what it is spiritually.
I am asking you what you are looking at.
Because political leaders must never become objects of worship.
A President is not a messiah.
And public service should never become a personality cult.
So don’t just look at the statue.
Don’t just look at the Bugatti.
Don’t just look at the names on buildings.
STUDY THE FLATTERY.
Because once powerful people discover what makes a leader feel important, they don’t have to kick the door down.
They decorate the door.
And sometimes what is being built in front of you isn’t nearly as important as;
the ACCESS being built behind it.
