Tlokweng BDP divided

Friday, August 28, 2020

Peace continued to elude the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the Tlokweng constituency where councillors have been at cross purposes with their legislator, Thulagano Segokgo on who to recommend for nomination for a vacant councillor position in the area, sources say.

The post of the nominated councillor fell vacant after the death of Tumisang Matsetse recently.

Councillors are said to be in favour of one Jane Bogatsu because they perceived her as having done outstanding service to the party and community. On the other hand, Segokgo is said to prefer Prince Kesetse, who was recruited from the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) in 2018. It is alleged that apparently the MP also wanted Kesetse to replace one councillor in 2024, hence the friction between him and the councillors.
