Call national poll on opposition cooperation

This is a good reminder to the three leaders of the opposition, who formerly referred to themselves as the holy trinity of Botswana's politics, and who now deserve to be called the 'three false prophets'. They demonstrated great solidarity and commendably took unprecendented steps towards unity in the months leading to the talks.

It was a sharp contrast to the animosity, finger-pointing and back-stabbing currently going on in the opposition circles. The 'peoples project', now a dream deferred, was undermined by political ambition and chronic myopia.
