It’s official, SKI dislikes Masisi, not BDP

For the longest time some of us have refused to believe the narrative that SKI is only in opposition politics because of President Mokgweetsi Masisi, and that should the BDP leader step down, the Bangwato chief will return to the ruling party. We have noted over the past few months that SKI never attacks the BDP, but always speaks ill of CAVA instead. Whenever he attacks the ruling party, he calls it CAVA, not BDP. Perhaps because this CAVA thing is associated with a faction of President Masisi when Ian was still a part of the BDP in the run up to the 2019 elections when

Ian himself was sponsoring Mma V to oust the president. Also note that for everything negative that happens to the BDP, Ian is always quick to relegate the matter squarely to President Masisi. He couldn’t even hold back on Sunday when he wanted to show his elation and he placed a recording camera in front of himself as he called Mankie Sekete to congratulate her for the victory at the Bophirima ward elections. You could tell the call was never really about to congratulate Mankie, but to get back at President Masisi. He just had to force the name of his nemesis into the congratulatory message and told Mankie that it was actually President Masisi she defeated in the Saturday elections. He had to keep repeating it to an obviously uncomfortable Mankie who refused to go with the line SKI wanted to take.

One could tell gore tota Mankie ene ga se motho le tshele, and only kept saying ‘kea leboga’ and ‘thank you’ even when Ian kept drumming in the issue of Masisi being the loser. In the call, SKI never mentioned the BDP, but instead said people were bought to vote CAVA !!!!
