#IShallNotForget

Sebina Saga has been the most talked about issue in the broadcast, press and social media for about two weeks. The saga refers to an issue where a 39 year old ruling party Sebina councillor is alleged to have impregnated a 16 year old form four girl.

The pregnancy sparked an uproar and condemnation from civil society groups, including the newly formed movement of Women and Men Against Sexual Abuse of Children with its # I shall not forget, Botswana Network on Ethics Law and HIV/AIDS, Women Groups, opposition political parties, the media, opinion leaders and individual citizens among others. Whilst the nation was still reeling from the shock of a pregnant teenager allegedly defiled by a local civic leader, a Facebook conversation said to be between the area Member of Parliament (MP) and the the councillor emerged on Facebook. In the alleged conversation, the MP is implicated in a very serious manner that borders on criminality and unethical conduct. Both men deny the conversation and dismiss it as fake and a conspiracy orchestrated to tarnish them by political opponents.

The ruling party has been mum about the issue until recently when it held a press conference. They condemned their councillor. There are so many unanswered questions about the Sebina saga.
