Pilane�s re-admission continues to haunt BMD

At the party national executive committee meeting on Sunday, the issue dominated the discussions. According to a source, there was no consensus on the issue after three of the deliberations and the meeting was called off.

“The Gaolathe team maintained that Pilane’s membership was fraudulently awarded or obtained. It accused the secretariat of having misdirected the branches, which admitted or gave him membership while the Mangole team believes that Pilane is a legitimate member. The committee agreed that their next meeting should be held in Maun where it will only address the Pilane issue,” the source said.
