Decades fighting in the trenches

To many in the Botswana National Front (BNF) and the opposition in general, Moeti Mohwasa is viewed as a battle-hardened fighter who had stood for his party during the good and the difficult.

Although peace now prevails in the BNF, the party has a long, tortured history of internal strife and division. As its long-time publicity secretary, Mohwasa gained nationwide fame for defending the BNF at times when many thought it was on the brink of collapse.
