The old hag finally jumps ship

Yep, this certainly would be a good headline for a newspaper article authored to reflect the true essence of the recent defection and utterances of Margaret Nasha from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) to the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

Her defection was long written, sealed and spiced with Indian aroma. The old hag finally jumps ship!

You see, it is when some of us decide to view things at a much broader angle that Facebook looney tunes and praise poets start to mummer delusional perceptions of one. For the sake of peace we decide to focus less on reality, but it always comes to that era that enough is enough, and truth has to be said. Nasha had shed her political milk teeth ages ago, parachuting her to a status of our local iron lady. From her glory days to her humiliating defeat at the hands of Dumelang Saleshando, Dr Nasha had remained a none nagging member of the BDP. Receiving a number of favours from the BDP leadership which returned her to parliament she never nagged, until now it became clear it was time to give room for others. Dr Nasha then deliberately turned overnight into a nagging queen, a dramatic character and finally an old hag. Her numerous attacks on the BDP leadership became hysterical and a joyous scene for opposition fanatics. Nasha had now grown a far bigger head than any politician ever in Botswana. She believed she could hold the ruling party at gun point. At post 2014 general election, she was seen in many encounters dinning and wining with UDC leadership. She further assumed she would assault reality and the past generosity of the BDP by landing yet again in parliament as Speaker of the national assembly, yet visually in a love triangle with the opposition. The old hag was cartooning herself.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
