They think like-wise. That is why their central committee committed blunder after blunder. To start with, it was a blunder for the BNF members to surrender a bigger political movement to individuals of Gaborone's calibre. This was a big mistake that comrades who thronged the Molepolole College of Education in 2007 made and they will live to regret. It sounds weird to think that Gaborone is the most suitable or credible person within the BNF. He can never be a credible replacement of the battered and politically soiled Moupo who has failed the BNF dismally.
In the first place, Gaborone is a political novice. Gaborone failed to drum up support for the BNF in South East North. The BDP snatched five out of eight wards in the area under his nose. He narrowly escaped defeat at the hands of BDP as he survived by a slim margin of 17 votes only. What a shame to a political figure that holds a high position in the BNF rank and file. This shows that even in his backyard Gaborone failed to sell the BNF policies so how can one expect him to sell it to the nation? It is obvious that come 2014 General Elections Gaborone will kiss parliament bye-bye and he was very lucky to occupy a seat in parliament as we speak. Deep down in his heart he should be worried about the BNF performance behind his backyard. Batlokwa did reject him and I was surprised to learn that the BNF legislators chose him as the leader of the opposition in parliament at the expense of capable MPs like Isaac Mabiletsa. Gaborone's impact in parliament is almost nil. He just enjoys the allowances and black Mercedes Benzes. The gentleman, just like Moupo, is a liability to the party.
