I had to pinch myself to check whether I was awake or dreaming in my sleep! Can anyone, let alone a whole president of the Republic of Botswana, get more hypocritical? President Khama is one president since the advent of multiparty democracy in Botswana who dreams loud of eliminating the opposition in the impending October general elections. He ardently wishes to win all 57 constituencies come October! Suddenly, tongue-in-the-cheek he has compassion for the beleaguered BNF! We know he hates the dirty political game; shouldn’t he refrain from making politics not only dirtier but cheaper by talking from both sides of his mouth?

In that scenario of obvious mental agony and confusion, when at a loss what to think, say and do, the befuddled, dazed, impertinent, imperious and impudent president could do no better but demean himself by articulating a fabrication and circulating and broadcasting it - leader of the opposition in some precarious position, because : “........These three (Rammidi, Gobotswan and Lucas), say Saleshando is a dictator, my source within the BCP revealed that the three prefer James Olesitse as the party president....”
