Throughout his political career, he has maintained a low profile, seldom commenting on political issues, which has led many to believe that he would never openly challenge the political status quo. Yet, recent events have proven that beneath his quiet exterior lies a man capable of bold political moves. The recent court action Dikoloti took against the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and his eventually suspension by President Mokgweetsi Masisi has sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape. No one anticipated such a dramatic and public move from him, especially against his party, a move which sealed his fate. For many, this was a step completely out of character for the man they thought would rather suffer in silence than openly challenge his party. His supporters, while sympathising with his plight, have long been puzzled by his silence after winning the BDP primary elections.
Many felt that his voice had been missing during critical moments, but Dikoloti has now made it clear that he is not one to be underestimated. His political journey has been equally enigmatic. When he first joined politics, few were aware of his plans. His campaign strategies were unconventional and kept out of the public eye. It was not until he triumphed in the BDP primary elections, defeating Alfred Madigele in the then constituency of Molapowabojang-Mmathethe, his political prowess became undeniable. This victory took many by surprise, as few had predicted that the quiet Dikoloti would emerge as the winner. Since then, he has solidified his position as a central figure in the constituency. He has become more than just a politician to the people of Molapowabojang-Mmathethe constituency.
