Opposition youth speak

Unlike their elders, the opposition youth leagues have been enjoying some cooperation and they seem to be working together on issues of mutual interest. They recently issued a statement that they will be united in celebrating The Day of the African Child (June 16). The Monitor reporter Frederick Kebadiretse caught up with youth leaders from the opposition in a wide-ranging interview to discuss the current political landscape in the country. The youth leaders are Lotty Manyapetsa of the (Botswana Congress Party), Kagiso Ntime of the Botswana National Front (BNF) and Armstrong Dikgafela, Interim Youth League Chairperson of the newly formed Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD).

The Monitor: It appears that you guys are able to cooperate as the Opposition Youth Leagues, a thing that failed with your party elders?

Dikgafela: It is very important for us to work together at the moment because we have a common objective of taking out the BDP government, which has dismally failed Batswana. It is even more important for us as the youth to cooperate as you may understand we are coming from parties whose leadership should agree on issues of cooperation, so we are just getting the ball rolling for them.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
