The songs are weapons in the struggle for a new government. On Sunday, the Gaborone South BNF choir showed its displeasure with the men believed to be military intelligence spying on the party by singing songs targeted at the suspected sleuths. At a BNF rally in Bontleng, uniformed police, plain clothes officers and people believed to be members of the military intelligence were in attendance and the choir had a go at them with a sarcastic song. They sang that: 'Mapodise a leseka la a tshaba, ba romilwe ke domi (these police men. Do not fear them. They have been sent here by the BDP - ruling party). Gago le modumo, ba bofefo go dira ntwa (they are quick to beat up people whenever there is noise). The rally was attended by a high number of police officers, some of whom brought desks and chairs, and were seen taking notes as speaker after speaker talked. The law enforcers were seen laughing at the lyrics of the BNF song that ridiculed them. Besides the police, the BNF choir-masters and composers designed another masterpiece for political parties - the New Democratic Front (NDF) in particular. The song went like this: "NDF faction you did well to go. Now we can breath fresh air. The BNF is a rock, you can ask Paul Rantao, people like Koma tried to dismantle this party, but they only made it stronger and more powerful, now it is powerful like phika the mysterious snake". It was a fitting tribute to former NDF chairman, Lemogang Ntime who re-defected to the BNF with 121 people. The NDF and Botswana Congress Party (BCP), the latest splinter groups from the BNF have joined forces. In Kanye, on Saturday, the BNF choir opened the rally to welcome former BCP president Otlaadisa Koosaletse with a strange national anthem. Instead of the famous Fatshe Leno La Rona - This Land Is Ours - the BNF version was a protest song, calling for change of government. Performed in Setswana, the "national anthem" spoke of a new era when the country will be truly independent. "Look at the laws, the constitution, they all reflect that the nation is still under colonial rule. The colonial masters are still ruling this country through Domkrag (BDP) oh, let's stand up and fight this bondage," the BNF choir sang. It is a lengthy song, but it was interesting to note that every BNF member sang the 'national anthem'.
