Gaborone Denies Funding Anti-Boko Bid

Three BNF activists - Thuso Mogorosi, Sekgopi Bogatsu and Chalibo Madome - have filed an urgent application with the Francistown High Court, seeking an order to bar Boko from contesting the BNF presidency.  They argue that Boko does not qualify to stand for the elections because his membership is irregular. There have been reports that Gaborone might have been the one sponsoring the trio to lodge a case against Boko.  However, Gaborone has distanced himself from the claims.

Gaborone, who has withdrawn from the BNF presidential race, told The Monitor that he is not the one funding the case against Boko.
