FRANCISTOWN: On the stage, Botswana Congress Party (BCP) choir of 18 young men and women set the party’s ninth national conference alight with its anti-President Ian Khama sentiment.

It was this song and dance that preceded the many speeches from across the party’s organs and fraternal organisations. The lyrics of the youthful choir communicated a message about the Khama family and its insensitivity, brutality and disregard for the law. “Lelwapa le la ga Khama le batho le setlhogo…Le ikgagapeletse dilo le senyeditse Batswana...Lelwapa le, le setlhogo (This Khama family is cruel. It has unfairly taken too much from Batswana. It has done harm to Batswana.

This family is cruel),” went the political lyrics that sent hundreds of BCP diehards berserk. As the choir repeated this song, the hall sang along as majority of the people joined dancing the morning away. It was a morning the BCP took charge to rubbish the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and in particular the Khama family for its failures.
