I am your leader :: Mmegi Online

I am sure there’s a verse in the Bible that says, ‘Thine pastor shall lead thine political party’. I am not exactly sure where to find it but my efforts to find this verse have been frustrated by truancy.

I have not been to church in a few years because of the unrelenting fury and after effects of COVID-19. Yes, COVID-19 has pushed us farther away from church and government has failed to acknowledge this and duly put the right programmes in place to deal with such after-effects.

Us victims (yes I am one) are in a huge struggle akin to passengers on a sinking ship with no lifeboats. If you don’t believe pastors have been ordained to lead political parties, think about Pastor Biggie Butale who is the leader of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) BPF and Reverend Dr Prince Dibeela who is the leader of Botswana Labour Party (BLP) and you begin to see a pattern.
