MMADINARE: The Mmadinare/Robelela ward committee of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has recommended that the branch leadership recall its council candidate, Sylvester Masweu over alleged misconduct.

The decision was taken during an urgent committee meeting that was held last month to discuss allegations that the council candidate breached a contract with Mmadinare Development Trust and unlawfully receiving P22 980. The two parties had entered into an agreement for Masweu to develop a strategic plan for the Trust. According to the minutes of the said meeting that Mmegi is in possession of, the ward committee had an opportunity to look into the contract that its candidate and Trust entered into and also considered the possibility of Masweu facing a legal action.

The committee, according to the minutes, also considered that the Trust’s board of directors and Mmadinare community were agitated over the issue hence the ward committee was convinced that Masweu must clear his name first.  “It is clear that Masweu dragged the party name in the mud hence recommends that he clears his name before he could contest the general elections,” reads the minutes.
