Letter to Cuba, from a friend in Botswana, amidst Covid-19.

Dear Cuba

At a time when the world needs more socialist solidarity and unity, it’s only right that you demonstrate what you have always been.

You have always been kind, glorious and gracious.

To be the “Doctors of the World” requires love, patience and understanding.

That, you have always been.

You have always been a friend to many and you are now taking the pandemic head one to save many. To each of the medical people from CUBA, “THANK YOU”!

Saving African continent is saving my brothers and sisters.

Thank you

Kenneth Setimela
