The Opposition Is Doing Well

It was a fanfare filled spectacle that ran from Saturday morning in the streets of Gaborone until 10pm, with the multitudes staying on to the end. The turn out by the crowd was simply overwhelming, perhaps reminiscent of the 1994  BNF Manifesto launch by the late Dr Kenneth Koma, in terms of fanfare and crowd response. To see the cloud of crowd seated in the four marquee tents as early as 2pm, as well as the sophistication with which the event was coordinated, was impressive indeed.

 The UDC also showcased all their council, MP candidates who will be standing all over the country. Posters of their various MP candidates across Botswana could also be seen decorating the  Chris Hani freedom square.
