Why Mabiletsa shed tears

Mmegi: At one point this year you were accused of harbouring ambitions for the post of leader of opposition and your critics said you were pushing for an alliance with the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) because you wanted to replace Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) vice president, Botsalo Ntuane, as leader of opposition. Is that true?

Mabiletsa: That is not true. Those were malicious allegations by elements within the opposition and our rivals saying that I am crying for a black BMW sedan. Why will I cry for that small car when I have a powerful car, my Mercedes Benz 280 E-Class, which I can use to go anywhere I want. Even if I wanted to go to the United Kingdom, I can with my car. On the other hand, this BMW is a government car and I cannot be allowed to go to any place I want as it is controlled.
