The Cabinet of friends :: Mmegi Online

True to his repeated promise during his inaugural speech last Sunday, President Mokgweetsi Masisi has appointed his Cabinet which is purely a product of last year's Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) elective congress in Tonota. Mmegi Staff Writer RYDER GABATHUSE analyses Cabinet appointed this week

Those loyal to Masisi have been rewarded big time where they least expected it, whilst three senior party politicians were fired from Cabinet. Big losers are Prince Maele and Sadique Kebonang whose names have been mentioned alongside corruption in the recent weeks. Edwin Batshu is another big loser, as he has been fired when it was least expected.

One of the earliest beneficiaries of loyalty is Slumber Tsogwane who immediately after Masisi’s ascendance to the country’s state Presidency was rewarded with the party chairpersonship and just this week he got a nod as the ninth state Vice President.
