An open letter to DJ Sid: Dear Monnamogolo, it�s OK to dream!

At first I didn’t believe DJ Sid had genuine political aspirations. Maybe its because I’m used to him churning classic dance hits on the turntables. But at the end of the day he is a Botswana citizen and has the right to be active in politics.

If my memory serves me well, DJ Sid was among the first radio presenters at RB2. He was instrumental in the inaugural operation of Duma FM.  He also pioneered Botswana’s first online radio station which played strictly local music, Sidfm. He’s good with playing and compiling music. Furthermore I’ve gathered that he’s a pretty old chap but looks better than his contemporaries, some of who are tormented by conditions of ‘good living’ like obesity, Z3 and phuza faces.  Many people will however remember him from My Star, not only because of the negative criticism he heaped on the contestants but because he paid little attention to his appearance.
