Molapise optimistic about BPP fortunes

In frank discussion with Mmegi, the opposition leader discussed his presidential term, which ends this May, among other issues besieging the oldest party yet smallest in Botswana. Molapise was re-elected BPP president in May 2013 at the party elective conference in Kalakamati. “I am happy with the progress we have made since I was re-elected president in Kalakamati. My main problem is resources.

“We are seriously under-resourced. Party resources are usually sourced through proceeds from the councillors and Members of Parliament but we only have one councillor which is a challenge.”He added: “For now we fund party activities from our own pockets which is not sustainable, but we are still trying to come up with fundraising initiatives in order to boost our coffers”.
