New party faces daunting task

How big a political quake the new party will cause remains to be seen. But the early signs are there though. There was the initial tremour occasioned by the Mogoditshane indaba. Then a hushed silence as the "birds" took off. 

Others flapped, as yet unsure about taking flight.  It was an eerie silence as the nation fidgeted, eager to know if there will, indeed, be a new party. Here and there, there were those who doubted if, indeed, the faction would become a party. We now know without doubt there is a new party in the making. We know because the party says it has submitted names to the Registrar of Societies. Soon, we believe, Batswana will get a name for the new party.
