ANC and BDP in freestyle 'boogie'

South Africa's African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) came to Botswana for an all-night gambol with their Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) counterparts. Literally.

As the DJs spun their discs and everyone got down to it, it seemed the object was to prove that contrary to mainstream thinking,(pseudo) revolutionaries and dyed-in-the-wool capitalists (read reactionary) do have a lot in common - at least on the dance floor.
ANCYL was led by its president, Julius 'Kill-For-Zuma' Malema, famous for 'predicting' Thabo Mbeki's fall only a few days before it happened, while the hosts were led by BDP Youth League Chairman Kenaleone Motsaathebe.But if anyone was wondering how political organisations, with almost mutually inimical ideologies like ANCYL and Domkrag youth could, find a common rhythm and frolic together should fast-track to a babalaas-filled Sunday morning at a press conference in Phakalane.
