Tawana shows his mettle :: Mmegi Online

MAUN: The Maun West choir announced his stylish arrival at a massive rally. They belted out a Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) praise song: "...wena Tawana...mokgosi wa go bitsa, wa re tla ko domi. Diphathi tsa kganetso di tla re bakela ka jaana o sethunya sa phathi...O morongwa wa rona go ya go ile...Mme Mma-Moremi o re pepa ka thari o re isa Tsholetsa".

The choir continued to shine before the top table singing partisan songs about Tawana's abilities and ridiculing the opposition parties that they did not pose a threat. The songs encouraged BDP diehards to go and vote in large numbers. Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and Botswana Alliance Movement (BAM) were dismissed as nothing viable.

Some BDP bigwigs found themselves singing at the podium to show their prowess and to counter the shining choir. Cabinet colleagues like Jacob Nkate who is also BDP secretary general found himself singing the song "khoba...khoba" to prove that he had what it takes from his Ngamiland constituency, more so that his choir was at the weekend launch.
