Masisi sees no threat in his factional riches

During the conference, the pro-Masisi faction that had set up a luxurious tent camp in the outskirts of Tonota, dubbed ‘Camp Dubai’ displayed its unshakeable wealth. Camp Dubai was an attractive and irresistible site where food, drinks and entertainment were excessively plenty. It’s at this site that 25 cows, 19 elands, 15 kudus, 15 impalas were slaughtered to fete all those that cared to eat and throw away. 

Cash was also easily exchanged for favours at this site and this is what probably provided confidence the team exuded. Reporter Lebogang Mosikare was shocked at the precision of party operative Thapelo Fish Pabalinga who had last Friday predicted that Masisi and the rest of the team’s contestants were going to win with a margin of over 500 votes. True to that prediction, the story of their win became consistently so.
