Garekwe takes BPF leadership to court challenging his suspension :: Mmegi Online

A suspended member of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF), Segaetsho Garekwe, has approached the High Court seeking urgent relief against what he describes as unconstitutional and unlawful actions by the party’s leadership.

Garekwe, in a newly filed notice of motion, claims that he has been wrongly suspended from the party without due process and in violation of the BPF constitution. He was suspended from the party on August 21, 2025, which he now challenges as unlawful and irrational.

Now, he has approached the court on an urgent basis against the BPF, its party president, Mephato Reatile, and secretary-general (SG), Lawrence Ookeditse, seeking an order from the court to review and suspend the decisions made by the BPF leadership, specifically his own suspension and that of other members from party activities and social media groups.
