The story was carried by Mmegi on October 5, 2012. This Khan is the former secretary general of the Botswana National Front (BNF). All being equal one would be right to say he is revered as one of the senior members of the BNF and by extension the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC). Yes, a veteran and an honourable man you would say. What these kind of people say should always be taken seriously, they are the elders of the party and of course think-tanks. They pride themselves with years of experience in opposition politics. They sat around the table with stalwarts like the late Dr K Koma, Fish Keitsing, Mareledi Giddi and others. This really adds a lot to their CVs.
It was on the basis of this background that when I saw his article, I put aside everything I was doing (just having lunch) so I could read with concentration. A veteran was just about to give a road map or a seasoned reasoning of what demon has gotten grip of our opposition parties.
