Khama is a good leader- Ntime

Erstwhile Botswana National Front (BNF) youth leader, Kagiso Ntime, who recently defected to the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), says he is having a breath of fresh air at his new political home and would not return to his political cradle even if BNF president Duma Boko stepped down today.

There are lots of BNF members in the extended family as well but there are BDP members too. For instance, my maternal grandfather, Goolam Ali Khan, was a BDP member, my brother’s uncle, Bonnie Ntime, was a BNF councillor in the early 2000s in Kopong who later defected to the BDP.
