THE TIME HAS COME FOR BIGGIE BUTALE TO MAKE WAY

-

We never knew how long it would take but we have always heard magatwe a gore Biggie Butale is only being used by the royal family brothers to sanitize a party believed to be created to get them back into political leadership of the country.

Magatwe a teng a sale a buiwa while TK was still with the ruling party and people said it was a lie, TK would never leave the BDP as he and his elder brother were not particular­ly in good terms. We now know it was a lie. TK followed the brother. And then we were told that one way or the other, Biggie would be pushed out to make way for TK. Many said Biggie is such an honorable man there was nothing anyone can do to taint his image. Now this! Gatwe Moruti has done the unthinkabl­e – gatwe he sexually violated a university student and it looks like from the longest time, this was a set up because every call he made was recorded – from the time he asked about student elections preparatio­ns to the alleged sexual transgress­ion incident. And his party has been too quick to pull the trigger on him, like they had really been waiting for this moment. Could the time have finally come for Biggie to hand over to the royals as was always expected? Or will the royal family brothers be smart enough to rather let someone else take over the presidency to avoid everything being seen to be way too obvious? Whatever the case, Biggie’s time seems to be over as BPF President.

Whenever such leakages happened in the past relating to the opposition party officials, Moruti Butale was always quick to blame the BDP propaganda machinery, saying they are the ones creating the audios and visuals to lie to the nation about opposition party activists. We wonder why this time the big Moruti is not thinking of the BDP machinery. Could the BDP be behind all these allegation­s against Moruti? Could it be the doings of the state intelligen­ce machinery? Moruti Butale has many times before said such evil revelation­s were orchestrat­ed from Tsholetsa House, and more specifical­ly, were the doings of one Eric Masisi. It is strange this time Moruti is not thinking in that direction when it could be the right time to think so. What if the propagandi­sts are finally hitting back at him for his incessant attacks on Mosau and his party? Akere even just recently, he had written that in this country, “ga go tautonege,” referring to Tautona Masisi and suggesting the man was incapable of being President. What if the BDP propagandi­sts are on a vengeance mode and seeking to show the nation that even at BPF, “ga go tautonege” with Moruti at the helm? Kana with politics, you can never rule anything out.

IS IT NOT THE DOINGS OF THE BDP MORUTI BUTALE?
