A reflection on Reverend Tiego’s arrest

There they go again- the apostles and functionaries of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) led government have unleashed the whole might of State machinery to frustrate, stigmatise and denigrate a voice in the wilderness in the form of one of Botswana's young and revered men of the cloth-Tiego.

With hindsight benefit now, we have come to know that a protest challenging the government’s mishandling of public affairs must be treated in the same way regardless of source. It does not matter whether it is coming from a man of God only armed with a Bible or from the government’s conventional sparring partners in Parliament- the opposition.
