Under the guise of protecting the Botswana National Front (BNF) and its leadership, former BNF youth leader Arafat Khan has incessantly used the fear fokol tagline not only to undermine his opponents but to call them all sorts of names. In this question and answer interview, Mmegi Staff Writer RYDER GABATHUSE speaks to Khan on the tagline associated with radicalism and his apparent hatred for the opposition Botswana Congress Party (BCP)

Mmegi: Generally Fear fokol is associated with loose cannons or at worst ‘renegades’ who tended to work against the established norms and in this case of the opposition BNF. What’s your comment?

Khan: The tagline fear fokol has been maliciously peddled by the enemies of the BNF (within and outside) to tarnish the good image of the organisation.

For them just to label people Fear fokol, they think they have made it in life or have scored a political point.
