BMD rises but not like a phoenix :: Mmegi Online

MAHALAPYE: Following its self-destruction at the Bobonong congress in 2017 and its demise after the 2019 General Election, the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) gathered its ashes in Mahalapye over the weekend as the once formidable outfit sought rebirth to rise like a phoenix.

A phoenix bird is a mythical bird from Greek mythology. It was a feathered creature of great size with talons and wings and its plumage radiant and beautiful. The phoenix lived for 500 years before it built its funeral pyre where it burst into flame and died.

Consumed in its fiery inferno it burnt to ashes. Soon after, the mythical creature rose out of the ashes, in a transformation from death to life. This story of becoming born again is what the new president of the resurrected BMD Nehemiah Modubule hoped as he gathered members at Maeto Lodge in Mahalapye on Saturday morning.
