The BDP disciplinary committee has punished the controversial politician for slamming those who are opposed to the party holding elections next year.
Education Minister and BDP secretary general, Jacob Nkate, told Mmegi that Morwaeng has acknowledged that his conduct was wrong and he was therefore requested to write an apology.

"We don't want party members throwing barbed wires at each other," warned Nkate. He said the party is against Morwaeng's remarks because the bulk of it was hate-speech targeting members who were merely trying to debate an issue.
