F/town wants 2nd Parliament

The motion was passed at the ongoing full council meeting yesterday after a heated debate on the motion that was tabled by Itekeng ward councillor Sam Masunga. Even though Masunga himself seemed unsure of his motion, the councillors argued the motion amongst themselves until it was passed.

The motion, which suggested that the council should adopt a motion calling on the Office of the President (OP) to consider establishing a second parliament in the city of Francistown, polarised councillors.
