My Bobonong

Monday, July 24, 2017

I am so happy and at peace with what happened in Bobonong.This was predicted by most analysts and one day some how it had to happen. At least today no one at Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) can say he or she is sleeping with the enemy.

The two forces are now separated. The balloon that has been growing has popped. It is just unfortunate that it happened the way it did. Throwing of stones and hurting other comrades was just uncalled for.

I strongly believe we are not at that level and we should never be. What we see happening in other countries might work for them in one way or the other, but it doesn’t mean it could work for us.We are just not like that. To the BMD and other opposition members do not despair, do not lose hope and be strong. BMD is at a teething stage, restless.
