Mabaila's Fate Deferred

Despite time running out for him to start his campaign as a candidate or the party finding another in his place, members of the disciplinary committee failed to show up on Friday.  The matter got worse when BDP National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) vice chairperson, Yame Kebabonye, made the accused person and his witnesses wait for 40 minutes thinking that the disciplinary committee members would show up. The embarrassed chairperson had no choice but to postpone the hearing.

This gave rise to suspicion amongst Mabaila’s sympathisers that it could have been deliberate to further frustrate him.  Some of the members who attended the hearing included Kebabonye, secretary Lindiwe Ntingane and Lesedi Dintwe, secretariat. Kebabonye confirmed that the matter was postponed to next month.
