Former president of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) women’s wing, Tebogo Dingake has said lack of funding hinders female politicians from executing their mandate.

Speaking at the party women’s wing congress over the weekend after her bid for re-election foundered, she said one of the reasons why her committee failed was lack of funds. “Mostly we were depending on our mother body or using our own money,” she said.

She requested the newly elected committee to work hard and mobilise more women to join the party.

It is important that they focus on their mandate,” she said.
