In Reatile the BDP trusts

However, Reatile’s life was not disrupted by the loss as he was immediately rewarded with the position of nominated councillor and elected chairperson of the Southern District Council, where the BDP is in the majority.

Insiders believe that Reatile is a hard worker and attribute the party’s victory in Sekoma council by-election early this year to his hard work.  The ward was previously held by the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).  The party leadership is said to believe that he will continue to yield positive results in the area going forward.
