Councillors plan to topple defecting assistant chairman :: Mmegi Online

MAHALAPYE: Councillors of Mahalapye Sub-District Council are contemplating a motion of no confidence against assistant council chairman, Neo Magowe, to punish him for defecting to the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) in an overwhelmingly BDP constituency.
