Is the BNF dying a slow death?

When a person has a serious enemy, they often wish them a slow and painful death. A movie-like ending of life, the way Denzel Washington, playing bodyguard to the daughter of some rich family, seeks vengeance on those who kidnapped her in the epic movie, 'Man Apart'.

Such a slow death is widely considered to be the current state of the Botswana National Front (BNF). I wish to show why such conclusions are misguided and a failure to interpret the history of this political party, but this does not make me a BNF follower.
