Dow: strong, bold intelligent woman

Since she left her ministerial post last year, Dow who resigned from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) on Tuesday has been on a war-path with her party. During a press conference that was held at Blue Tree Restaurant, Dow confirmed that she had been charged with bringing the party into disrepute; that she defied a party caucus decision and she disagreed with President Mokgweetsi Masisi with the complainant being Chief Whip, Liakat Kablay.

She stated that she carefully considered the utility or otherwise of appearing before the BDP- disciplinary committee and came to the conclusion that such an appearance, regardless of the outcome, would not lead to a settlement of the real dispute between herself and the BDP leadership.
