Confusion reigns as BMD congress nears

Factions in the party, led by expelled president, Ndaba Gaolathe and chairperson, Nehemiah Modubule are set for a showdown after months of tensions, attacks and counterattacks. Threats of violence are also in the air, as activists have vowed to pursue their interests without compromise.

Yesterday, the BMD’s BOMASE regional chairperson, Joseph Dintwa said the area was being sidelined in the preparations for the congress by those presently at the helm of the party. Dintwa is also a member of the BMD’s National Executive Committee (NEC), its highest decision-making body.
