The executive secretary of Botswana Democratic Party Sechele Sechele was forced to pack his bags and leave an ongoing congress in Palapye, as angry delegates jeered at him. The Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) hosted the triennial elective congress that ended Tuesday.

PALAPYE: Sechele was among other representatives of political parties such as Botswana Congress Party, and Umbrella for Democratic Change, on a mission to deliver a solidarity message on behalf of his party, the BDP.

However, the congress turned nasty when Sechele was introduced and delegates started jeering at him, disrupting his speech shouting “a e ye” (to hell!). The same attitude was not unleashed on representatives of other parties Dr Kesitegile Gobotswang (BCP secretary general) and Ndaba Gaolathe of the UDC.
