In my view, if all that the Umbrella party will achieve will
be to get rid of the Botswana National Front (BNF) “Kopano” symbol, it
(Umbrella) will have achieved its purpose. The BNF Kopano symbol is a very
slight modification of the “Barwa” hieroglyph. Only the axe was removed from
the hieroglyph to construct the symbol. The hieroglyph is depicted in the lowest
register on the reverse side of the Narmer Palette, just above the “stumbling”
figure of a man – private parts exposed!
As a Kalanga, it irks me to see a supposedly National Party
bearing a tribalist symbol. Let’s get rid of it.
