Gaolathe reminded members not to lose sight of the party’s founding vision

PALAPYE: Despite mounting challenges, including poor sales, rising manure costs, and rising food prices, Alliance for Progressives (AP) president, Ndaba Gaolathe has urged party members to remain focused on their vision, saying those committed to uplifting the nation will not fail.

Addressing delegates at the party's conference in Palapye on Saturday, Gaolathe said Botswana's future remains bright despite the country's current economic difficulties. He emphasised that the "new Botswana" would surprise those who have lost hope.

"I still believe that the new Botswana will surprise many who believe there is no hope. We are building a country that will succeed and become the envy of nations," Gaolathe said.
