BCP won't discipline wayward comrade Shine

Ngakaetsile was barred from standing as a Selebi-Phikwe East parliamentary candidate for the forthcoming general election.

BCP secretary general Taolo Lucas said in an interview with Mmegi yesterday that the court process was over and Ngakaetsile was still a BCP member. "It is our hope that Comrade Ngakaetsile will resume work with the party and contribute meaningfully to the attainment of its objectives," said Lucas.
