We will endure on this exquisite journey

A fortnight ago, delegates of the Botswana Movement for Democracy congregated to consider policy proposals on how to build a model nation that is the envy of the world, and how to carve a path for generations to come, one whose distances and gorges are worth travelling. Simultaneously, the younger torchbearers gathered to propose and elect the few whose mandate is to lead them, the Youth Wing of this marvellous movement.

If we have to seek joy in what is possible, then we find it in the conduct and determination of these resilient cadres who braved proceedings throughout Saturday, right into the deep night and day-break into Sunday.
