Ex-BCP Cllr's Dual Membership

The BDP constituency committee threw out Modise 'Super' Thipe's application to contest as the party's candidate. Thipe, a former Botshabelo Central councillor, defected from the BCP to the BDP in 2003. After the 2004 general election, Thipe returned to the BCP and re-registered as a member.

Despite being issued with a membership card, the regional leadership refused to recognise him as a BCP member. Last November, Thipe registered for the BCP primary elections in Botshabelo Central.
