The Midweek Sun

OF THE BICKERING BETWEEN THE BNF AND THE BCP

-

This week Freedom Square is littered with opinions from opposition party activists on the disagreeme­nt between BNF and BCP regarding Bophirima ward. On Monday BCP undertook to field a candidate against UDC/BNF, and this is what the people are saying:

BCP HAS MISCALCULA­TED

The BCP has miscalcula­ted yet again! If they could gauge the current mood, people are against what they are doing. People see them as traitors who are stalling opposition progress. You can try to demonize Boko all you want but people are able to see through you. You can come up with all ‘brilliant’ explanatio­ns about democracy at UDC but the ordinary Motswana will not listen to you. To them you are traitors. The BDP is using the likes of Healy in parliament to further demonize you and drive a wedge between you and the BNF. [GARETH SHIBA]

AGO NNE SE SE NNANG

Ke dumalana le Dr Bucks Molatlhegi BNF ICU coz it does not have a credible leader in Duma Boko. Boko le his fearfokol gangsters think they own UDC waitse. Mme gompieno ke gone ba tlaa bonang gore ha re tshamekisi­we rona ko BCP. BNF e kare e ta re twaela hela thata mme gompieno e tla re itse sentle. Re tile go supegetsa BNF gore katse e hagolelwa ko nageng ha e nna mo nageng gore e te e siele lapeng. Rea ema ko Bophirima gore BNF e te e itse gore go nna le dipuisano le ba bangwe ba o dirisanyan­g nabo. A go nne sese nnang banna!! [THATAYAONE PULE]

UDC E A SWABISA

Ke swabile nko go feta molomo ke ne ke sa solofela gore kgaolwana fela ya mmakgaolwa­na ke yone e ka gomagomets­ang go phutlhamis­a UDC. Ke gore re file domkraga mabaka otlhe a go tlhobosa opposition gore ga se ba ba ka neelwang puso ba palelwa ke management wa kgaolwana, ke dule mo maakeng a opposition coalition ke inaakanya le moruti wame Thuso Tiego, re herekane. [KABO MODISE]

BDP E YA GO FENYA

A le sure BDP ga ya reka le Saleshando? Ba palelwa hela ke go kopana ba bua kgang e e motlhofony­ana hela ya wardnyana hela ya Bophirima? Nnyaa borra lo re rekisitse. I’m a long time unshakable BNF member. Ga se gore ke a lo tlhasela ke lona lo itlhaselan­g. Gape lo a itse gore jaaka BNF le BCP lo emisa candidates jaana, BDP ya go fenya. Ke gone jaaka matswalo a lona a tla a bo a kgotsofets­e? Selo se se dirwang ke matlhabisa ditlhong, ke raya wena Boko le Saleshando ga mmogo le baetsana ba lona. [MOKANOKI SEOKAMO]

BOKO MUST FALL Se se tlhabisang

We are bullied by BNF with 2 MPS. ditlhong we are bullied by an arrogant guy called Boko. He didn’t even make it to parliament. Re tsile go ema ko Bophirima Boko o na le over 10 years a re jesa gompieno go worse o re tletse magodu bo Kgosi le bo Khama. We are BCP. We will form a new alliance with AP and stay away from BPF and BNF thieves. #Bokomustfa­ll [WILLIAM WILBAFORCE]

BNF ATTITUDE WILL COST UDC

Kgang ya gore Boko consultati­on e bile he is in most cases absent in meetings e buiwa ke mongwe le mongwe yo berekileng le ene. Both BCP and AP ba itse gore Boko ke mmusa esi. Boko’s BNF ke yone mathata a UDC. Their big brother mentality e dira gore ba gatelele diparty tse dingwe. Any party that joins the UDC has to submit to the BNF. Then ba tlaa bo ba gatelela diparty tse dingwe ba bo ba sa batle di ikuela gope. That’s autocratic nature. UDC will never win the general elections until BNF changes their attitude. [MOATLHODI RONNIE]

BNF ON ITS DEATHBED

BNF is dying a slow death. O kile wa utwa kae gotwe motho o motona he cannot contest for botautona ja party? Mind you Constituti­on BNF has no age restrictio­ns for contesting any position. Koore go sirelediwa mongwe hela. But arrogance ya gagwe is breaking opposition unity apart since he is making decisions without consulting other parties within the coalition [THAPELO BALOTELI]

STOP THE ABUSE

Let it be known that these parties have no problem with the UDC. They have a problem with Boko and his henchmen trying to make it their property. The abuse and bullying by the BNF must stop. [OLEBILE MOLEFE]

LE A RE HUTSAFATSA

Dear Opposition Parties: le a re hutsahatsa ka go gogagogana. Nna re lapile ke puso ya makula. Puso ya corruption e gatang ka stiletto. Our relatives are not working kana. Re kopa le emise metlae. A kalo. Mothophi o batlang United Opposition [LUCAS MORULA]

GA RE RATE BPF

Nna ke rapela fela gore BNF e seka ya ba ya lora e kopane le mo go tweng BPF, ga ke rate go moo le e seng. Ene BPF ke yone e ka jesang opposition parties coz bangwe ba rona ga re e rate ka ntlha ya ga Ian Khama. [MALEFOLA LEFIKA]

UDC PRESIDENT MUST LEAD

I can’t understand why it so difficult for the president of the UDC to call a meeting with the aggrieved party and listen to them and try to resolve this issue nicely. He has to show that he is ready to lead the country, with this kind of mentality he is not showing that. [LETANG GADIILE]

PARTIES MUST BE EQUAL

The BNF has to drop its “big brother mentality” if they are serious about bringing change. Opposition unity has to be based on equal terms of the contractin­g parties, otherwise a change of government shall remain a “pie in the sky.” [KEHUMILE KGOROBA]
