Two Possibilities Of Botswana Politics

Two political possibilities exist as of now: The Zebras making their debut at AFCON competitions and the change of political leadership in this country.

I am excited by both. I do not turn myself into a mascot during the Zebras' games but I have committed to attend all home-based matches. In fact should they qualify for AFCON I suspect I will be one of the travellers. I too add to the gnash of teeth when Dipsy Selolwane hits the outside post and explode in elation when he hits the inside net. I hear they are just two wins away and they will be home and dry. That is exciting, isn't it?

Another thing: Fresh from their elective congresses, the Botswana National Front and Botswana Congress Party rhyme a common sonnet. In fact they do not have choice but to answer the people's crave for change. In case they think they can toy around with people's emotions this time around, Botswana Movement for Democracy is around to fill the space. I share the nation's anticipation and do believe politics will never be the same again in this country.  I risk being labelled a political activist as it is usually the case; but who is not? Who said politics are the preserve of certain clowns and not all of us?. We, too, can be clowns, you know. Of course some are more clowns than others.
