Major Gen Pheto paid a cow, a goat and a cock for democracy

I found Pheto in some conversation over his cellular phone. I greeted him once he was done with the call and he replied in a somewhat hoarse voice. He sits back on his camping chair and cuts a sorry figure. “My daughter just called me and told me that there was a housebreak at my place in Molepolole”, he said. I just thought, what a coincidence of events. But this must have been planned against his political migration.

The event is the welcoming of various people from the BDP and a few from BCP. The key figure in the parade is Major General Pheto himself, the former member of parliament for Lentsweletau/Mmopane constituency.
