Speaking at a press conference held at the BNF offices on Tuesday, he referenced the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, which, during its 113th anniversary celebration, acknowledged similar challenges. "The ANC stated that its performance was hindered by internal conflicts, corruption, and widespread indiscipline among its members. Such issues are serious concerns within political parties," Dr. Molutsi noted. Consequently, the ANC found it necessary to enter into a coalition to govern effectively. He conceded that the BNF is not immune to such challenges. Dr. Molutsi further observed that parties are sometimes hijacked or infiltrated by individuals who join solely to contest elections, but lacking genuine commitment to the party. These individuals often remain unfamiliar with the party's culture.
To mitigate such issues, he announced that the BNF plans to implement mechanisms for political education, ensuring that members comprehend the party's ideology. He emphasised that a clear understanding of party ideology, particularly their belief in social democratic policies, is essential. Additionally, the party chairperson highlighted that the BNF's dedication to the welfare of the masses, viewing human needs such as the right to shelter, employment, and a decent life as integral to human rights.
