BOFEPUSU welcomes UDC, BCP cozy relationship

The BOFEPUSU deputy secretary general Ketlhalefile Motshegwa said cooperation and unity between the opposition parties is necessary and healthy for Botswana. “This gesture is long overdue and Batswana are thirsty for it,” said Motshegwa.

“Given the prevailing massive socio-economic challenges facing this country, there is need for united, strong and vibrant opposition that is even ready for change of government.   Our country is faced with colossal scale corruption, mismanagement of public resources, rising unemployment, leadership that is not accountable, democratic institutions are under siege, the laws of the country seems not to be applicable to those at the upper echelons of power, a society that lives in fear of its own government, civil service whose appointments are based on nepotism and favouritism,” he said.
