BNF's embarrassing problems justifies the birth of the BCP

May I say it in plain terms, "the BNF exists to prolong and advance the rule of the BDP'' and any Motswana seriously looking ahead to see the BDP unseated from its now seemly oppressive rule should ignore the BNF from now.

I need not give many examples to convince Batswana that the BNF is nothing else but a BDP wing peddled as an ''opposition party''. The BNF is not an opposition party and we in the BCP long realised that way back in 1998 and decided to give birth to what is now a beacon of hope for many Batswana, the BCP.

The simple reason why the BCP was formed was to offer Batswana a formidable political party that is free from BDP control mechanisms and infiltration. We had realised that the BNF was hijacked by the BDP by planting BDP activists within the BNF leadership disguised as BNF members. The sole purpose of these people was to ensure that they go all out to cause confusion within the BNF to a point where Batswana would pronounce "the opposition is hopeless, therefore the only alternative is the BDP, so keep on voting the BDP". I have to admit that the BDP was very clear and they indeed succeeded though their plan has been sabotaged by the birth of the BCP in 1998, which has so far distinguished itself as a serious alternative.
