Mukokomani's wish granted as Matenge is transferred

It all started on February 23 and Mukokomani, was by then the mayor and by virtue of his position, he chaired an All-party Caucus meeting whereupon a decision was made that the then town clerk, Kutlwano Matenge be transferred. A motion of no confidence in the town clerk was supposed to be passed in an effort to "fix him".To Mukokomani's surprise, councillor Dikgakgamatso Ramatlopi rose to introduce an item, which was not previously on the agenda under Standing Order 35. The counter motion tabled ironically wanted to oust Mukokomani from his seat.Mukokomani fought so hard to block a motion purporting to oust him. In the beginning, he seemed to be winning the battle until the matter was taken to the Francistown High Court where his leadership style was exposed and rubbished by the court.

In fact, before the matter was taken to court, Mukokomani was ousted through a disputed election that saw Godfrey Mbaiwa crowned the mayor.
