Cde Baleiti Basnah Mbambanyi - a gallant political fighter rests

Comrade Baleiti Basnah Mbambanyi is no more. He succumbed to death after a long illness. Some of us who had the privilege of being close to him are celebrating a political life lived to the fullest.

Comrade Mbambanyi belonged to the old realm of opposition politicians like Maitshwarelo Dabutha, Tore Lesego, Mareledi Giddie, Joseph Kavindama, Gilson Saleshando, O.K Menyatso, Kays Phitshane, Klaas Motshidisi. This is a generation of politicians who kept the neo-colonial BDP government on its toes for the better part of their lives.

Comrade Mbambanyi spent almost half his life fighting corruption, injustice, tribalism and other social ills that the BDP regime has come to be famous for. He was a very principled politician that no bribery, financial or otherwise, could be used to derail him from his beliefs.
