Butale PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

Two weeks after expelling Tati East Member of Parliament (MP) Samson Guma Moyo, and suspending his Lerala-Maunatlala counterpart, Prince Maele from the party, it appears that Tati West MP Biggie Butale's neck is next on the block.

Butale, the assistant Minister of Health and Wellness, has a fixture with the dreaded Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) on May 7, 2019. Recent history has proven that the party has either suspended or expelled members who have appeared before the committee. One example is the case of the youthful former Mogoditshane constituency candidate, Tshepang Mabaila.

He was slapped with a five-year suspension last October after he was charged on several counts said to be against the rules and regulations and General Code of Conduct of the ruling party. Before that, party president Mokgweetsi Masisi had slapped Mabaila with a two-month suspension. Mabaila’s offences included behaving in a grossly disorderly and unruly manner that might put the party name in disrepute contrary to General Code of Conduct number 11 and sowing seeds of discord in the party, using regionalism, tribalism or factionalism contrary to General Code of Conduct number 6.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
