We need immediate constitutional review

The most prominent fights have been experienced in the two big political formations - the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and the Botswana National Front (BNF).There is no doubt that the two parties still have a long way to go in conflict management.

Everyone is talking about the BDP saga with a party constitution and a national Constitution that turns one man into an untouchable demigod. Of course it is a shame if the constitution of this nation has been crafted so much as to protect the presidency and even to protect the foibles of a president who mishandles the affairs of his own party. If indeed, the three judges' interpretation of Section 41 is correct - we hear a groundswell of opposition from other lawyers who say they could be wrong - then we need an immediate constitutional review.
