Saleshando told residents of Mahalapye East on Sunday that Ernest Nthobelang is a better candidate than Assistant Minister and current area MP Botlogile Tshireletso. “It is time that you look for a better party since you have tried BDP for 48 years but it failed to develop your area. Maphashalala could be having tarred roads as we speak. It pains to find that some villages have only a primary school and a small clinic to show as part of development in the area,” Saleshando said when welcoming Nthobelang and other former Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) members to BCP.
He said residents of Maphashalala should know that the BCP offers an alternative to the BDP. He said the people should learn from Nthobelang’s defection that life is not good in the ruling party. He pleaded with more BDP members to defect to BCP, a party which is ready to lead the country.
Nthobelang promised Saleshando that they will work tirelessly to ensure that they win the constituency.
“The BDP is weakened in this area and people are not happy with the way things are being run in their party. There is lack of development and high rate of unemployment in the area. The reason why the youth of this area decided to join the opposition party is because the ruling party has betrayed them as they have nothing to do,” Nthobelang said.
He said the youth had realised that BDP has nothing to offer. In the coming elections, Nthobelang will battle it out with Harry Mothei of the Botswana National Front (BNF) and Tshireletso.
