BMDYL intervenes in party factional wars

The league has warned that it will conduct mass mobilisation and even push for a special congress, should its demands not be acceded to.

The BMD has been rocked by internal divisions, with factions emerging and tensions rising in recent months.  The pressures boiled over recently with a physical altercation involving the women’s league members, a legislator and security guards at Tsogang Primary School in Gaborone. Police are investigating three cases of assault from that incident.
