Ntsatsi quits BCP ahead of Selebi Phikwe East by-elections

Masego Sylvia Ntsatsi told Mmegi in an interview that she resigned from the BCP after she was vetted out from contesting the party's primary elections.  Ntsatsi said the party's decision to vet her out of the primary elections was not transparent, was unfair and undemocratic.   "I just received a phone call telling me that I have been vetted out after preparing for the primary elections," Ntsatsi said. 

Ntsatsi said that she had paid her candidate fees and had recruited new members to the party.  She said that she found it strange that as the only woman candidate she was vetted out, saying that maybe the BCP does not value women politicians.
