Gaborone City Council (GCC) has described the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) allegations that it is being targeted for political reasons in an attempt to frustrate its political campaign, as misguided and injudicious.

This comes after the BCP served the GCC with court papers over the issue of campaign posters advertisement on the street poles. The BCP chairperson Motsei Madisa-Rapelana recently deposed an affidavit in support of an application for a declaration that the GCC’s conduct towards the BCP infringes upon its right under Section 3 of the Constitution of Botswana.

This in particular,  the right to equal protection of the law and that the GCC action must be declared unlawful and interdicted from acting in this manner. In its court papers, the GCC denies that it has violated the applicant’s fundamental rights and freedoms enshrined under Section 3 (A) of the Botswana Constitution.
