TONOTA: Until last week Thursday, the vanquished Minister Nonofo Molefhi’s lobby group also known as ‘Team Marakanelo’ was reportedly in the lead ahead of the victorious Vice President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s team.

Team Masisi popularly known as ‘Team Dubai’ because of its affluence, swept the stakes winning all the positions contested for in a clear whitewash victory at the recent elective congress of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

A BDP insider who witnessed it all shares the story of Team Marakanelo’s fall on condition of anonymity. The Young Turk throws blame of the faction’s loss on the lap of the faction’s leadership and operatives who failed to follow the details of their strategies. She blames complacency, naivety and the team’s counting the chickens before they were hatched as factors that connived against the team. In their minds, they had won before the polls.
