Bontshetse/BNF in court today

In an urgent application before the Francistown High Court today, Bontshetse wants the court to review and set aside the decisions of the executive committee of the Botswana National Front (BNF) to recall and suspend him.  Bontshetse was suspended from the BNF on August 29, 2014 over allegations that he was giving media interviews without authority.

In his founding affidavit filed before Justice Zibani Makhwade, Bontshetse alluded to a meeting where the BNF executive committee comprised Ferdinand Kgosikoma, Same Bathobakae and Abraham Kesupile asked him to pave way for Moatlhodi, as the former deputy Speaker of the National Assembly he was popular in the area.
