They claimed that the B.P.P was falling apart as its Central Committee members were allegedly resigning en masse and joining the Botswana Democratic Party and the B.C.P Mmegi (8 September), added for good measure to the offensive by carrying a cartoon of a human being labeled "B.P.P" lying prostrate with vultures lurking about apparently waiting for a feast.
We hereby set the record straight. Only three out of a total 18 members of the Central Committee of the B.P.P have resigned from the party and joined other parties. Cornelius Gopolang resigned from the position of Secretary General citing financial problems and family commitments as major constraints on him. Later on, we learnt through the media that he had resigned from the party and had joined the B.D.P.
