Fireworks dominate BALA conference

The disagreements got so bad that some of the councils ended up boycotting the elections.  BALA president, Reverend Mpho Machakga Moruakgomo had to eventually divide the house on the issue of adopting the constitution as some councillors vehemently refused to participate.

However, the constitution was finally adopted by a majority of those who had no problem voting. A clause in the same constitution was further waived on the issue of the elections that suggested that only members who were active and subscribing members of BALA should vote. Some members said that the clause should be waived for the sake of these elections and the old constitution used.
