BMD: What do you have for artists

In recent years we have seen a different political landscape from what we have known with the formation of a new organisation in the name of Botswana Movement for Democracy.

This new political child was instigated by some discontented members of Botswana Democratic Party who had issues with the leadership of their former party. One of the reasons for their argument was that they were disturbed by the way the country was run. Their resentment was directed not only to their former party (BDP) but also to the government of Botswana.

I do not have a problem with anyone leaving their organisation to pursue or realise their own ideals, but I would surely be worried if this decisions are made to suppress the ideals for which I as artist survive on.
