I am an author not a politician - Sesinyi

I'm not a politician and it doesn't seem as if I will ever aspire to be one. I'm an author - a writer of fiction. Fiction is a product of the imagination with creative structuring and construction of unreal events. My play, "Goodbye to Power", is not a portrayal of real events and this is clearly stated as is the case in any work of fiction. The play is neither complimentary of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party, nor, derogatory about the opposition.

As a matter of fact, if you read the play carefully, you will not find anything flattering about a depiction of a coup attempt by a fictitious army man, who almost gained the sympathy and support of the fictitious president of the outgoing ruling party.
