Opposition parties shoot themselves in the foot

This is particularly so following the decision by the Botswana National Front (BNF) and the Botswana Peoples Party (BPP) to contest against each other in the Shashemooke council by-elections to be held on February 26.

The two parties are pointing accusing fingers at each other in Shashemooke.  The BNF claims that it came second in the ward during the last elections and deserves to contest with the full backing of the other opposition parties.
