The disgruntled members have engaged attorney Meshack Mthimkhulu to sue Boko and some members of his executive committee.  The group has filed an urgent application saying that Boko committed perjury when giving evidence which influenced the High Court to rule in his favour in a dispute over his party membership four years ago.In papers filed at the High Court in Gaborone yesterday, the group said Boko knowingly and intentionally withheld material information with fraudulent intent.
