Stephanie Nolen, the Globe's Africa correspondent writes from Botswana, a place that reminds her a lot of home.
"The country is gripped by a love-hate relationship with its mighty neighbour to the south (sound familiar?) Botswana's televisions are full of South African channels, its malls full of South African stores. South African companies dominate most sectors of business here. Rural Batswana have gone by the thousands to work in South Africa's mines, while many of those who make it big in business or entertainment here also go south to the bright lights of Johannesburg."
