BPF factions finally reconcile

Jwaneng-Mabutsane legislator Mephato Reatile, who was recently co-opted as vice president in the Biggie Butale-led BPF, last Thursday led a party of 12 as a top delegation to the neighbouring SA meeting.

Patron Ian Khama, who is in self-imposed exile, was listed as part of the party's special meeting. Khama's supporters have been fighting for their leader to take over the presidency of the BPF from a properly elected president. Butale, the BPF president, had to run to court where he successfully defended his position with a ruling in his favour.
