Many soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are produced in factories in Botswana, including Fanta and Coca-Cola. Local brands are Castle and Lion beers. Milk is fermented to make madila (sour milk) which is eaten on its own or added to porridge. A favorite non-alcoholic homemade drink is ginger beer.
Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, north of South Africa. Botswana occupies an area of 581,730 square kilometres (224,610 sq mi), of which 566,730 km2 (218,820 sq mi) are land.
Botswana doesn’t have much of a literary tradition; all that survives are ancient myths and poetry written in praise. Indigenous languages only started being written when Christian missionaries arrived in Botswana in the late 19th century. Indigenous tribal rituals are still being practiced today with cults holding their sway.
