A reckless political statement

Mangole was launching a UDC candidate over the weekend in Mochudi when he reportedly told his audience that Bakgatla are “orphans, without a chief,” and that this is “all because of President Ian Khama and his government”. 

This is not the first time opposition MPs from Kgatleng have uttered remarks to the effect that once voted into power, they will drop charges against their Kgosi.  It is prudent at this point to caution these aspiring politicians, and the general public, that it is unethical to make promises that cannot be fulfilled and dangerous when the fulfilment of these promises would violate the basic rule of law.
