The chickens are coming home to roost :: Mmegi Online

Nobody should weep whether the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) rises or falls. The problem they have to deal with is of their own making. They deserve no sympathy.

In fact, they deserve everything that is coming their way and much more. They deserve dogs twice the size of those we saw in Bobonong. They deserve duels and quarrels and fistfights. Somehow they must learn. They have inculcated in their party a deep culture of sycophancy that has set the country back by many years and have openly celebrated it.

This is a party where the leader is more important than country. Sycophancy is ingrained in the BDP DNA from top to bottom. You can beat a BDP member with a baseball bat all day and they will say that Belgium is an African country if their president says so. The fervour with which they defend wrong when their presidents are involved is appalling.
