BCP plans mass demo over BIUST :: Mmegi Online

More than half of the 75 Botswana Congress Party (BCP) councillors in the country are expected to take part in a demonstration today to protest the scaling down of the Palapye-based Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST).

BCP spokesman Taolo Lucas said yesterday that the demonstration will start from the Palapye bus rank. The BCP top brass, led by party president and Gaborone Central MP, Dumelang Saleshando will participate in the demonstration. After the demo, Saleshando is expected to address a rally together with officials from teachers' unions.

The BCP youth have hailed party councillors for deciding to skip council proceedings today to attend the mass demonstration. The youth are happy that the councillors have chosen to join the demonstration and forego the allowances they would have earned for attending council meetings.
