BNF is alive and well

At his press conference, a certain Bucs Molatlhegi, who masquerades as a potential leader, made a fatuous attack and cringing remarks that, “The BNF is in ICU.” We believe that such words undermine the unremitting members of the BNF who have given so much of themselves in their capacities to fight for this revolution.

We wonder who is this man who attacks an organisation he claims he wants to lead. What is his true intent and mission, we ask.

His attacks clearly come directly from a script penned by our adversaries both within the UDC of which we will lead till eternity and the BDP.

It’s no wonder they praised and celebrated his attack on the BNF. We have decisively dealt with those adversaries here at The University of Botswana last year and we are going to do the same this year at the upcoming SRC elections.

We urge BNF members to be vigilant and guard profusely against sponsored characters and hired guns within the movement who are hell-bent on destabilising us with an intention to give BDP a new lease on a corrupt life.

Those who are close to this man should tell him that as the youth, we would never allow being led by very old people and worse, who disrespect our party.

The man’s closeness to the BDP through tenders is worrisome. The president of the BNF should never be a beneficiary of the BDP corrupt tender system!

We note with disgrace, embittered and abashed by his words, and we urge him if he is an elder in the movement to own up and unconditionally apologise to it and its members.

We are the biggest opposition organisation in this country and we have a duty to lead Batswana out of this misery they are subjected to on a daily basis. We loathe his culture of buying comrades with money to stand in support of him to destroy our movement. We do not have such a culture in the BNF.

We further urge all our members to remain unshaken. BNF will never die, it is the party of the poor and marginalised and it has the power and capacity to self-correct.

Duma Boko remains the only real threat to the BDP because of his sheer bravery and fearlessness amongst his many attributes. No one comes close.

He inspires us. We pray that the good Lord protects him at all times.

Those who are in ICU should never pronounce on anyone’s health status for their vision is impaired.

The BNF Lives!
