In this powerful episode of Pitso Podcast, host Tshwaragano Mmereki sits down with legal mind and trailblazer Patrick Gunda, the man behind the historic Radio Gaga court case that helped open Botswana’s telecommunications and broadcasting sector.

In this conversation, he shares: • His journey from failing Standard 7 to studying law abroad • How the Radio Gaga case changed Botswana’s telecommunications landscape • Why opening the airwaves created jobs and new industries • His time working in government and as legal advisor during the era of Ian Khama • Teaching law at the University of Botswana • The importance of courage, perseverance, and standing up for your rights This episode is a powerful reminder that one person can change a nation’s future. 📢 If you enjoy conversations about Botswana’s history, law, politics, and untold stories, make sure you LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE. #PitsoPodcast #Botswana #PatrickGunda #Telecommunications #FreedomOfExpression #RadioGaga
