BDP secretary general: Who is the best of them all?

One of the most powerful positions in the BDP governing structure is the secretary general (SG). As the head of the secretariat, the SG is the hub of the party responsible for the management of the affairs of the party. Staff Writer RYDER GABATHUSE and Correspondent SIKI MOTSHWARI JOHANNESS analyse the strengths and weaknesses of three candidates vying for the BDP secretary general

One can safely say the party is as good as its secretary general. Since inception, the BDP had been so lucky to have at the helm of its secretariat division men of exceptional abilities such as Sir Ketumile Masire and the controversial Daniel Kwelagobe amongst others. These two men discharged their duties with great passion and distinction. 

It is small wonder during Masire- Kwelagobe time the BDP was invincible. It is not clear whether the BDP will be able to raise another secretary general of Masire or Kwelagobe’s stature. This is the challenge that every passionate democrat is pondering on as the party is now charged with the responsibility of electing a secretary general at the 2017 Tonota elective congress. The party‘s fortunes have been dwindling in the last few years and the future could depend on who is going to get the nod for the secretary general post.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
