The people react to the BCP, UDC Maun rallies

-

WE ARE ON OUR OWN

There is too much excitement about what is happening in Maun this weekend. I don’t know why we celebrate the death of what was a promising UDC. I am looking at the multitudes attending the Sunday BCP rally and rememberin­g those who attended the UDC rally on Saturday. These are numbers that combined would easily deliver this constituen­cy to the opposition. Now we cannot be sure can we? I guess we are just on our own and the leaders killing our dream [TUMELO MOLEFHE]

OPPOSITION E LOILWE TOTA

Dintwa tsa opposition tlhe di nyemisa moko. Do we now see why Batswana don’t trust us when it comes to voting MPs? They would rather give us council seats than parliament seats because parliament seats decide the party to rule. Was it necessary for Boko to stand there and say Saleshando and other opposition leaders

ba rekwa ka di tendara? Even as Salashando a ne a ganetsa

the following day, was it necessary for him to do so e bile a re ene he has never been to a tender office ya ga goromente?

And what does Carter mean a re UDC ga se party it is just an arrangemen­t mme e le mo ballot paper. Eish, tota opposition

re loilwe[KABELO MOLEMI]

WE ARE HEADING FOR DISASTER

Dumelang Batswana betsho, ke kwala jaana ka go tshwenyega ka seemo sa dipolotiki tsa rona re le ba kganetso. Bakaulengw­e re tlhaselana thata mo go tlaa re tlhobogisa­ng ka batlhophi ba e seng ba diparty tsa rona. Fa re ka tswelela ka go decampaign­er each other in opposition controlled constituen­cies, I am afraid we are heading for a disaster come 2024. Let’s exercise some restraint. We need each other please. [NEHEMIAH MODUBULE]

DUMS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH

I met Dumelang Saleshando a na le Tshekedi Khama one morning ko DLC Hq(Defence Logistics Command headquarte­rs)ko SSKB, ko procuremen­t ya BDF e dirwang teng. He lies ga a re ga a ise a e teng. Kana ke ba dumedisits­e maphakela wa teng; I was on duty be ke ya teng. [WARONA K. MOSS]

UDC IS A POLITICAL PARTY

Ke gore le setse le sa itse ha le teng. UDC is registered as a political party with a constituti­on and it’s not a temporary platform. Ha re forma UDC ne re sa e direle ditlhopho tsa 2019 but ne re dira party ya sepolotiki e tla tshwaragan­yang diparty tsa kganetso. UDC e tseneletse ditlhopho tsa 2014 le di by election tse di neng tsa latela. E ne e sa thamelwe 2019. Le tsaya gore rotlhe re tswa Sekondobor­o. [PETER BANDA
