BNF postpones executive secretary's disciplinary hearing

The decision comes after he requested documents and information that he says are necessary to prepare his defence against allegations of misconduct. Molefe's hearing was scheduled for June 30, but has since been deferred following his request for witness details and an investigation report, prompting the disciplinary committee to cite the need to uphold the principles of procedural fairness. The executive secretary was suspended on February 27, 2026, pending disciplinary proceedings. He faces allegations relating to abuse of office and conduct that allegedly brought the office of the executive director into disrepute.

A charge letter dated June 18, 2026 and signed by BNF secretary-general Dr Stephen Modise, alleges that whilst serving as executive secretary, Molefe instructed a data capture clerk to register new party members directly from individuals.
