Opposition playing dice with Batswana's future

With all due respect to the newly formed opposition, the Alliance for Progressives (AP), which looks stable but an untried infant without any experience of contesting general elections, the disturbing reality is that there is no other party to challenge the BDP in the coming elections, a situation too bad for democracy.

Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), a coalition between four Botswana opposition parties, is on the brink of collapse following key resolutions made by two of the main contracting parties, the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and Botswana National Front (BNF) over the weekend.
