"We also need intelligent people to represent Mahalapye constituents," she said.Mogalakwe, who represents her voters with a collective opposition of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) indicated that women of this country should be awaken from their deep slumber and take major political steps as demonstrated by other African women leaders such as Joyce Banda. She said that the way the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) was running this country was disheartening to some especially the youth.
