The executive secretary of Botswana Democratic Party Sechele Sechele was forced to pack his bags and leave an ongoing congress in Palapye, as angry delegates jeered at him. The Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) hosted the triennial elective congress that ended Tuesday.

The same attitude was not unleashed on representatives of other parties Dr Kesitegile Gobotswang (BCP secretary general) and Ndaba Gaolathe of the UDC.
