That BNF "Kopano" symbol!


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.
