Perseverance Works Wonders For Mosojane

These qualities best characterise Albert Uneni Mosojane of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP). His political life started at the Botswana Peoples Party (BPP) in 1965 when he was still at primary school. "I was following in the footsteps of my father who was by then a staunch BPP member," he told Monitor in an interview.

Whilst a member of the BPP, Mosojane contested twice in the general elections without much success - first in 1984 as a council candidate for Government Camp and then in 1994 as a parliamentary candidate for Maun/Chobe. Despite the defeat, he kept on struggling to achieve victory.
