BNF targets 300,000 new members

Addressing journalists yesterday at a BNF press conference in Tlokweng, BNF organising secretary Michael Mzwinila said the organising sub-committee, which he heads, will spearhead the project.

"As you might be aware, the party will be turning 45 next year, therefore the year cannot pass quietly as it marks an important point in our history. We are also going to revive and continue with Operation Tsosoloso, which has previously brought the party handsome results. In the short time that Operation Tsosoloso was implemented, the party was able to attract close to 100,000 new members," he said. He said with the project they aim to have cell, constituency and regional committees fully operational by end of 2011. This also goes for the organs of the party, he added. Mzwinila said they will soon complete an audit of the party structures. The information gathered will be used to guide the organising secretariat in executing its targets set for next year, he said.
