FRANCISTOWN: On the stage, Botswana Congress Party (BCP) choir of 18 young men and women set the party’s ninth national conference alight with its anti-President Ian Khama sentiment.

It was this song and dance that preceded the many speeches from across the party’s organs and fraternal organisations.

It has unfairly taken too much from Batswana. It has done harm to Batswana.

It was a morning the BCP took charge to rubbish the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and in particular the Khama family for its failures.
