Saleshando on UDC, Wayeyi recognition

The former opposition hard man admits he is now living a quiet life from politics, running his cattle farm in Hainaveld farms and building his tourism campsite along the Thamalakane River. He offers his take, amongst other things, on developments in the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), other political matters and on Wayeyi paramount chief’s recognition.

Saleshando senior heaped praise on the latest crop of politicians for working hard to achieve opposition cooperation to wrestle power from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). Saleshando explained that the UDC project is viable and if well executed, power will be in the hands of opposition in 2019. According to the elderly politician, past opposition cooperation projects failed, as parties believed they could single-handedly defeat BDP.
