Butale falls from BPF helm :: Mmegi Online

Biggie Butale, after surviving two suspensions, has now fallen from the helm of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). Following his third suspension and subsequent expulsion from the party, he urgently approached the court. Unfortunately, the High Court's Justice Zein Kebonang ruled in favour of the Mephato Reatile-led faction, marking Butale's luck running out in court.

Butale has suspected power-hungry party members wanted to 'steal' his presidency. As a means to remain at the helm of BPF, he sought an order to jail five respondents, Lawrence Ookeditse, Tshekedi Khama, Barulaganye Letang, Dr Kolaatamo Malefho, and Reatile.

However, Butale was suspended by the party's disciplinary committee for allegedly inciting members against the BPF, influencing decisions in the recent Mmaphula East ward by-election, not declaring received funds, and collaborating with party rivals to destabilise the party.
