Numbers alone can’t make us join UDC rot

-

Win or lose, we want to be remembered as honest leaders and not rich leaders. It is not in our interest to win state power to enrich ourselves like the BDP and the over ambitious dishonest UDC. Our objective and commitment is for a government that will enrich the country and distribute the wealth of the country without any favor, uplift the quality of life for our people and not their families. We are resolute in our quest for such a government and we remain steadfast. The decision by the AP leadership to join the UDC is in total violation of our congress resolution. Our congress stated very clearly that the AP go into a coalition only with likeminded parties and made it very clear that the UDC is out of question because it is not like minded. Only another congress resolution can change that directive and no other structure of the party. So the leadership is now practicing what their new friend, UDC is practicing by transgress­ing on governance. It is not surprising though, gatwe show me your friends I will tell you who you are. AP new friends ke magodu, rona we will not associate le magodu. If it suits Ndaba, aa tsamae

le magodu a gagwe. Kana gongwe ntse re bapile le batho re sa ba tlhalogany­e. We at Botswana o Mosha do not worship leaders, we respect them. We do not buy into a decision just because it is from a leader. We are human just like him, have brains to sieve and decipher what a leader says and decides irrespecti­ve of whether the majority follows him or not.

As we part ways with the AP we are disappoint­ed at the way the party leadership has spread false and malicious propaganda against us to instill hatred and dislike against us within the party membership. This is the kind of agenda propagated by evil men and it is shocking that a man of Nadaba’s stature has allowed such to happen under his watch. Le gale Manyane Mangope o buile a re, “Ntja ga e bolawa ke mong wa one, ga ena lebelo”. We want AP members to know that we do not hate them or the party, even those who were sent by the party Vice President, Chairman and Secretary General to spew bile on us and insult us, we do not hate them. We do not hate them because they don’t know the truth but have allowed themselves to be used.
