Central District BDP cllrs resign en masse

More than 10 resignations were read out before the house this morning.  It is believed that more resignation letters are expected before the house disperses this afternoon.  Not all of the letters were read out as the house went into disorder due to other BDP members that were against the chairperson reading the resignation letters.

Councillor Baemedi Kudumane of Makwate/Shakwe/Taupye in the Mahalapye East led the councillors that resigned.  Kudumane said they are joining the newly formed Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF).  He said the BDP is no longer the party they believed in.
