DK's launch turns into Khama-bashing

President Ian Khama was the subject of thinly veiled attacks in Molepolole South constituency on Sunday as speakers at the launch of Daniel 'DK' Kwelagobe took turns to lampoon him for reportedly endorsing Tebelelo Seretse in the race for chairperson of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

Seretse is trying to unseat Kwelagobe as BDP chairman. Although the gathering in Molepolole South was meant to launch Kwelagobe as the BDP parliamentary candidate, the main speakers used it as a poorly disguised Khama bashing session. The speakers were not happy with reports that Khama had said that Kwelagobe is not fit to be BDP chairman because he is old and ailing. At the Molepolole launch, Gaborone Central parliamentary candidate, Gomolemo Motswaledi slammed such thinking saying that it is sad that some people in the party have now resorted to mudslinging.

He was bewildered by the fact that Kwelagobe was being attacked for exercising his constitutional right. He offered to compensate Seretse for the goats, which she said she gave to Kwelagobe for his long service at the party's 2007 congress.
