BCP councillor resigns from the party

Mashaba who has been the party's chief whip states in the letter that; "I wish to put on record that BCP has lost direction and has become a family entity and it is no longer a people's organisation.  It is a conspicuous fact that the leadership of BCP is only reserved for a few people anointed by a particular family."

Councillor Mashaba also cited continued lack of democracy within the party and the perennial cheap talk, jealousy and infighting as factors that forced him to tender his resignation letter.  He also thanked the party and his supporters for the many years that he has worked with them.  "I believe the BCP will learn a lot from my departure and will be able to reassess itself.  I, however, wish to put on record that I will continue to represent my electorates diligently to the best of my ability," he states in a letter that he addressed to the party Publicity Secretary, Taolo Lucas.
