The unknown side of Bernard Balikani

A majority of those who attended the event at the Mass Media Complex Auditorium hailed the northern-based politician as the most candid and honest in his presentation. 
"The opposition is becoming more opposed to each other than the BDP. It is our patriotic duty to unite and present ourselves as an alternative government to the BDP to end the four decades of BDP misrule.

"Remaining fragmented and competing against each other is criminal and history will not judge us favourably," he said in the presence of fellow opposition party presidents' Otsweletse Moupo of Botswana National Front (BNF), Gil Saleshando of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and Lepetu Ephraim Setshwaelo of Botswana Alliance Movement (BAM). At the discussion, the usually reticent Balikani was blunt and to the point. First he lamented that the opposition cooperation project unravelled before it could go into second gear.
