Francistown West Member of Parliament (MP), Ignatius Moswaane and Gaborone North legislator, Haskins Nkaigwa will share the award. Their contributions to the debates in Parliament border on fundamentalism and populism.

The two have a few things in common. Both are former city mayors. From 2004 until 2015, Moswaane was the Francistown city mayor while Nkaigwa was the Gaborone City mayor from 2012 until 2014. They both speak out of turn.

We are yet to hear him debating the motion. We do not know if his party, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), supports him.
