Sephiri Se Dule touches politicians

Local rhumba musician Franco (Frank Lesokwane) says his latest offering Sephiri Se Dule has not been well-received by some members of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), while opposition members often call to commend him for a job well-done.

Franco told Arts & Culture that his anti-corruption song did not target any particular individual or organisation, but that unfortunately some politicians had gotten the wrong end of the stick. The "misconception" that the song is anti-BDP has been fuelled by overzealous individuals who continue to play it at the gatherings of public service workers currently on strike across the country.

"I have received calls from some political heavyweights within the BDP, accusing me of targeting their government, but that is untrue. Corruption is everywhere - even within opposition parties; we have heard stories of people mismanaging party funds so this message also goes to them," he said.
