BDP hijacks Masa-a-sele

The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) assault on democracy continued yesterday morning when the popular Radio Botswana Masa-a-sele phone-in morning programme fell victim to censorship. Just as the show's presenter Mmoloki Mothibi, was about to open lines for members of the public to comment on the issue of Tonota South MP Pono Moatlhodi's recalling by the BDP, he was forced to retract his invitation because the matter at hand was sensitive. He told his audience that stakeholders had informed him that they were still discussing the matter hence it was not the right time to allow people to comment. The topic of the day was whether it was the electorate or political parties who should decide who should be in Parliament.
