FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) said it will need to be given time to decide on the fate of three of its members who were indefinitely suspended from the party after they assaulted another party activist during a party function.

The accused, specially nominated councillor Otsile Moses, administrator Boago Phiri and BDP activist, Chidzani Mokgwebe were each sentenced to two years in jail for assaulting another party activist Otto Masogo during a BDP Francistown Regional Elective Congress in 2017 at Donga Community Junior School.

However, the trio escaped jail by a whisker after Magistrate Lebogang Kebeetsweng suspended their sentence for two years on condition that they did not commit any offence that involves violence.In addition, Kebeetsweng sentenced each one of them to four strokes of the cane after they were certified fit by a medical practitioner.
