This is purely intended to clear confusion amongst not only our members but all the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) affiliating partners, the people of Tlokweng and the nation at large. It is indeed true that Mk Segokgo applied for re-admission to the life BMD membership on March 6, 2018. Because the National Executive Committee (NEC) had already made a resolution that whoever is willing and wishes to be re-admitted to the party should do so and will be re-admitted without conditions, his membership card was prepared on the same day. The National Organising Secretary(NOS) of the BMD, Mk Freddie Ramodise, who has been tasked by the Secretary General; Mk Gilbert Mangole, to ensure smooth processing of all returnees, was at the office to ensure that due process be followed as per the resolution and instruction of the NEC. It was on the same day of his re-application of admission to the BMD membership and subsequent to his membership card processing that Mk Segokgo was informed by the NOS that his life membership card was ready for collection.
Mk Segokgo did on the same day requested the BMD NOS to take with him his membership card to the Lerala – Maunatlala star rally that was held on March 10, 2018 as he had wished to be a speaker at this rally held in Lerala. For reasons not communicated to the BMD, Mk Segokgo did not show up in Lerala. The NOS naturally had to continue holding on the membership card which has now been returned to the BMD Head Office to make it easier for Mk Segokgo to pick it up as the NOS is now busy engaged in the coordination of house-to-house campaigns in Moshupa – Manyana constituency in the preparation for the upcoming elections that the UDC shall fiercely contest.
