Mmegi, Botswana The publisher and editor of the journal Botswana Review, William Bendig, returned to Botswana and a certain amount of local disquiet a year after he had left for the United States. At the time of his departure prominent academics both here and in the US had warned against Bendig, his publication and the so-called Africa Arts Foundation. Although Bendig's journal claimed Botswana as its country of origin, it did not have a single Motswana on its editorial board. Bendig said that he hoped to publish the next edition this month. Mmegi , June 1990 Fence Sittin' was published weekly by Mmegi newspaper in Botswana from June 1990 to June 1992. Mmegi is run by an independent trust and is the most respected newspaper in Botswana.
