Senior BNF official defies party on Vision 2036

The opposition party, which is a member of the coalition, Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), has barred members from sitting in the task force formulating the vision. The BNF took the decision at the party’s conference held at Goodhope in July. The rationale behind this, according to the party, was to keep the party from participating in government projects that do not yield positive results for Batswana.

On Monday many in the BNF were shocked to learn through national television, that Digwa, a BNF central committee member, was one of the members President Ian Khama recently announced for Vision 2036.
