In Setswana, “Go Amogelwa, go Tlhalogangwa le go Ketekwa“
…vs simply being TOLERATED. ‘Tolerance’ is a beautiful word until you realise it’s limitations. Being tolerant does not require respect, curiosity, understanding or acceptance. Only endurance is needed. And as a foreigner, I can say: being tolerated is isolating, lonely and depressing. No amount of integration changes a local community’s mindset to simply endure the presence of a foreigner.
