UDC CRACKS THE WHIP ON MEMBERS

The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) the main opposition party this week moved swiftly to quell the germinating seeds of discord that have been threatening unity within the organisation. Following the recent meeting in Palapye , flamboyant UDC president Duma Boko called on members to be united and desist from tendencies that divide the party “We call on our members to rise to the defense and jealous protection of their UDC,” said Boko when addressing a media briefing this week. Unpredictable, fiery and quick witted Boko even threw in a quote for American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr for good measure.

“There is amazing power in unity. Where there is true unity every effort to disunite only serves to strengthen the unity” the Martin Luther King quote reads.

In the wake of a recent UDC Central Committee meeting in Palapye , gatwe ko UDC go ta bo go sa iterelelwe. Word is that no rebellious tendencies will be condoned: According to opposition party,” All leaders and members must cease, and desist from, all conduct and utterances that tarnish the organization.” Besides gagging members and quelling any rebellious tendencies ,stern measures will be taken against all those who will breach the expected standards of behavior. Koore go ta bo go gagamaditswe storopo. Furthermore...gatwee dintsa di ta bo di bogilwe ko UDC. “Each party within the UDC is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that its members comply with the expected standards of behavior and any errant members will be dealt with by the party whose member(s) has or have been reported and appropriate disciplinary measures applied.”
