Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Many were furious when Muckraker said the All Basotho Confusion is a party led by clowns. Recent events however continued to vindicate Muckraker. Two of its leaders have contrived to stage another circus.
\nThis time it\u2019s about a billboard in Quthing. Kemiso Mosenene, the Minister of Water, is brawling with Lebohang \u2018Mokhoenyana\u2019 Hlaele over a campaign billboard.
\nHlaele is angry that Mosenene and his constituency have erected an ABC billboard in Quthing. As Hlaele sees it, this is gross insubordination. He has ordered Mosenene and his people to take down the billboard and apologise.
\nOf course, his gripe is not that the billboard was erected without the executive committee\u2019s permission. That is just something he is saying to sound organised.
\nHis real beef is that the billboard doesn\u2019t have Thabane\u2019s face on it. Mosenene and his people have rightly shown Mokhoenyana the middle finger and told him to find somewhere else to play.
\nIt\u2019s a billboard for their party. They know what will get the Quthing people to vote for the ABC. If Hlaele has a problem with that he can create his own billboard.<\/p>\n

Mokhoenyana should stop this business of barking orders at constituencies as if they are his backyard garden. That time has long passed. The party is now in a pool of confusion. Rather, he should be busy trying to save the party from yet another split.
\nBut given the party\u2019s precarious position, he should be thanking Mosenene and his people for sponsoring the billboard because there will not be many of those in the next election.
\nNo sane person will sponsor the ABC\u2019s campaign next year. The party has spent the past five years campaigning against itself. Mokhoenyana should make this campaign a free for all.
\nHe must allow members to go on their rooftops and campaign for the ABC because it is going to be a hard sale. More like selling warm water at a market in the Kalahari.
\nAs hard as making dreadlocks on a Chiskop. Mokhoenyana should allow the members to campaign their own way. They can catch a monkey, tie a yellow bandana on its head, take a picture and place it on a billboard.
\nTheir message will be clear: the ABC is a party of monkey business. Get a pig, wrap it in a yellow blanket, take a picture and plonk it on a billboard.
\nThe message: the ABC is a party that rolls in the mud like a pig and it\u2019s a party that is about to roast in its own fat like a pig. Put the Feselady on a billboard with the words: \u201cWe will never do it again! We are sorry!\u201d
\nAnything goes. Mokhoenyana should take a deep breath, drink some water and watch from a distance. The executive committee he says should lead the campaign is a figment of his imagination. Which executive committee? Is it from Makhoakhoeng or Qhobosheaneng? Let the confusion in the party confuse people to vote for it!<\/p>\n
