BDP urges embattled Modenga to step down

Thursday, February 16, 2017

FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has implored Francistown deputy Mayor, Lechedzani Modenga, a ruling party member, to consider resigning in order to clear his name amid the criminal and corruption allegations levelled against him.

BDP secretary general Botsalo Ntuane said this yesterday in response to a Mmegi questionnaire.
