Butale takes BPF NEC to court yet again :: Mmegi Online

Another legal battle is brewing within the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) as Biggie Butale, the founding president of the party, takes legal action against his suspension and subsequent expulsion from the party.

The case comes shortly after Butale failed to convince Justice Zein Kebonang of the Gaborone High Court that he was wrongfully suspended and expelled. Butale is not about to give up on his presidency as he had already filed an appeal with the country’s apex Court of Appeal.

He has also switched attorneys on the current matter being represented by Kole Law Practice. In his all other matters, Butale was represented by Rammika and Tafa Attorneys. In the current matter, Butale is the solo applicant in the matter while the BPF, its national executive committee (NEC), and Mephato Reatile are first to third respondents.
