Abstract
For the last three decades Industrial Designers have been blamed for designing for 'greed' and not for 'need'. The current mode of design practice is a reflection of the problems of Design, the Designers and the society. This paper looks at some of the paradoxes that Botswana has had to deal with in its quest for social sustainability through design intervention. The paper also outlines several contextual concepts and strategies that might address design needs of Botswana and how they impact on this burning issue. It stresses that design; designers and the society need redesign in pursuit of social sustainability.
