How did you do it? I mean you had your backs against the wall this time around. You didn’t have the Khama magic this time. Quite to the opposite, Kgosikgolo was terrorising you in the north. Duma Boko and company had unprecedented loads of cash to match your Cava machinery. Alliance for Preogressives (AP) appeared to be intellectually superior. Well, what matters most is that you are in government. That I tip off my hat to you and I wish to once more congratulate you on your overwhelming victory. You predicted a whitewash, but you got more than that. You have managed to take the BDP to its old glory days. But I need to warn you though that you need to get your act together. You have been given a lease of life. 2024, will likely be harder. There will be no sympathy votes based on presidential transition feuds.
Pardon me if I come out as patronising, but considering some of your antics of late, you have been lacking in maturity. The old adage that if you don’t want to be treated like child, then don’t behave like one, comes to mind. The current Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) rumblings can only be seen at school yards. It is so high school. One new friend of mine likes saying sometimes “we Batswana think like children”. And he is right. It is because the leadership in any organisation or institutions sets the tone for everyone. And BDP off lately is robbing us of our thinking capacity. We are stuck in endless petty squabbles and silly law enforcement antics.
