In Botswana, complete anonymity is nearly impossible due to the small population of less than two million. People are naturally inquisitive about one another, leading to a tight-knit community where everyone's background and activities become common knowledge. This makes it challenging for individuals to maintain privacy in their daily lives.

Even in the capital city, Gaborone, the close proximity of neighbors fosters an environment where curiosity prevails. Residents often feel compelled to inquire about each other's lives, making it difficult for newcomers or those seeking privacy to blend in without drawing attention to themselves.
