Butale cracks whip upon return

Butale, who was suspended by the party last year, has begun his second tenure at the BPF by making a lot of changes among others suspending BPF spokesperson Lawrence Ookeditse, presidential aspirant Samson Moyo Guma, and former Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Francistown South branch chairperson, Ford Moiteela. Butale, who is backed by BPF patron and former president Ian Khama has suspended members from team Guma amid tensions currently rocking the BPF.
