BNF intent on weekend protest march

In a letter to the party this week, the Minister for Presidential Affairs and Public Administration, Margaret Nasha, 'regretted' that they would not receive the BNF petition.Nasha said they are not going to entertain the petition because the subject matter is under police investigation.

The BNF is planning to stage a march on Saturday to protest against extra-judicial killings.  They were also planning to present a petition to the OP.  Last week, the police denied the party a permit to stage the march.BNF spokesman, Moeti Mohwasa, says the Office of the President is giving contradictory messages. Mohwasa produced a letter from the defense ministry's, Augustine Makgonatsotlhe, last week.  In the letter, Makgonatsotlhe stated that they would only receive the petition if the BNF had a police permit.
