Tensions within the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) seem to be growing by the day and now the pro-Sidney Pilane faction wants vice president Wynter Mmolotsi to be fired from the party.

The pro Pilane team is not happy that the anti-Pilane team is using the current president and vice president’s tour and rallies to canvass support from members. The pro-Pilane team is alleged to have met this weekend in Phakalane, Mmegi has learnt.

The president and vice president’s tour started recently to inform members about what led to the collapse of the party national executive committee (NEC). The pro-Pilane faction is calling for reconciliation while the anti-Pilane group is calling for a special congress and the suspension of Pilane’s membership in the party. The infighting of the NEC started after Mochudi West constituency approved Pilane’s membership. Pilane attended the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) rally in Lerala on Saturday.  “It was agreed that Mmolotsi be fired from the party because he is the one causing the unnecessary instability. Again the current party disciplinary committee seems to be in support of what is happening because it failed to act against Mmolotsi after he attacked the party chairperson Nehemiah Modubule. They want NEC to be dissolved,” a source said.
