The celebrated media personality captioned the photo, “My hotel is doing too much.”
Hotels are known to share a number of accessories for their clients depending on their needs.
These include toothbrushes and toothpaste, bathing soap, towels, slippers, and even beverages or alcoholic drinks.
In this case, Madowo’s hotel shared a Bible for spiritual nourishment and condoms, perhaps as a way of encouraging its clients to practice safe sex.
Incidentally, statistics show that Botswana, alongside Eswatini and Lesotho, has the highest prevalence rates of HIV/Aids.
Madowo is among the most popular and widely travelled journalists in Africa.
He currently is the CNN Africa correspondent.
