Friends advise Gaolathe to form new party

Two factions, one led by Gaolathe and the other by Sydney Pilane are claiming ownership of the BMD. Both parties have since appeared before the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) leadership in a bid to resolve the ownership battle, which has been punctuated by fist-fighting.

In fact, the members who attended the BMD meeting in Francistown on Saturday also want Gaolathe’s faction to ditch the UDC and go at it alone at the 2019 general elections.
