Media, politicians' clashes in an election year

FRANCISTOWN: Battles have been fought in the social media space, in the pages of some newspapers and the electronic media with political organisations and politicians coming face-to-face with journalists and media houses.

In some instances, these battles have become so ugly that they have been personalised and fought with anything at the parties’ disposal. Politicians will carry the battles to the freedom squares whilst media practitioners will use their available platforms to leverage their fights.
