Motswaledi stood for what is right

We are told how he has undermined the authority of the party and how he carried himself in a manner that is unlike a standard bearer of a great movement that is democratic, visionary, diligent, compassionate and extra-ordinary.

In the 60-day window during which Gomolemo Motswaledi awaited a disciplinary hearing of the BDP, Batswana from across a wide array of life's walks contributed to an explosive debate that tested the boundaries of our democratic tradition as a party, and as a nation.  Leaning on the one side of the debate, many of my contemporaries in the BDP, many in our nation and I, sought to portray our party as a movement that is beginning to lose its way at the expense of the noble ideals on which it was founded.
