Smart Alec Domkrag, how it wins elections!

I was in Peleng, Lobatse and the campaign for the first democratic elections was in full swing. I had registered for the elections and was looking forward to casting a vote for the first time in my life.

My preoccupation in South Africa had been to fight for the franchise for the oppressed native people. Here in the Bechuanaland Protectorate, Bechuana had been promised independence from Mmamosadinyana. Motswana in good standing, I hadn’t only registered to vote but to vote for Comrade Motsamai Mpho’s, Botswana Independence Party (BIP) of which I was a member in good standing!
