When the BDP is in trouble, we should all sit up and pay attention as this is the party that runs government. But we cannot ignore the official opposition even if that party happens to be the perennially suicidal Botswana National Front (BNF). What passes as the second largest and strongest opposition party in Botswana is a party that is unparalleled for its addiction to disorder and shooting itself in the head.

It is not news anymore to talk about BNF crisis because the party has over the years defined itself as the very epitome of crisis. No one except the crisis sedated BNF insiders can tell the difference between a crisis, political mayhem and BNF.At the risk of being accused of talking about trivia (that is the BNF ) when the country burns, we have decided to devote this space to the sorry apology we have as the official opposition.
