The congress, held in the last July holidays, had resolved that members who had defected to other political parties over the years should be allowed to return, provided they comply with the procedures set out in the party’s constitution.

Amongst others, the BNF welcomed Rhoda Sekgororoane, Masego Segokgo, Kemmonye Makatane and Onkgopotse Timela.
