Sophie Mokoena: And I think the other issues are bread and butter issues, Batswana were not happy in terms of the direction the country was taking, the corruption, the association with Zimbabwe also and the Zimbabwean Zanu PF officials being so brazen in going to that country during election, posting on social media their support for the BDP, yes, we know they are former Liberation Organizations, but don’t rub it in, particularly when you know that in your own country, you have issues.

And therefore, I think the other issue that is becoming a problem, it is the Zanu PF in the region. It’s becoming notorious. But secondly, at the time its president, is the leader of the SADC, you know, he, even, you know, congratulated Mozambique even before the Electoral Commission of Mozambique could pronounce results.

And therefore these issues; leaders are arrogant. They think, don’t count, and they tend to undermine the voters. And sometimes the voters are watching every move. And I think the issue of arrogance, the issue of sidelining those who supported you when it was not fashionable to do so always leads to disaster.

News Presenter: Sure, and I suppose a sobering lesson for future leaders. Speaking of that, Duma Boko, I imagine is going to be a whole lot more of a popular man than he was before this week.
