BNF appeals for internal peace

For a long time, the BNF has been  rocked by internal instability. With the impending elections for the party’s new leadership, the BNF is once again  fighting with itself as entrenched factions prepare to battle for control.  

During the membership drive launch on Monday at Cresta Lodge in Gaborone, BNF vice president, Prince Dibeela called on the members to “put their misgivings aside” for the sake of the party. Dibeela, who has openly declared that he will be challenging party leader, Duma Boko for the presidency at the impending elections, said the membership drive is an opportunity for cadres to rebuild the BNF. However, he said people have to be sincere about the process for it to happen.
