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.

Gov't must guard against cadre deployment

As the Botswana National Front (BNF) discusses a policy to place suitably qualified members in strategic positions, the guiding consideration should remain whether an individual is the best person to serve the country.
