Monday, February 18, 2008

PALAPYE: In a humiliating defeat, the new kid on the political block, Moiseraele 'Master' Goya has shattered Health Minister, Professor Sheila Tlou's dream of representing Palapye in Parliament. In one of the pulsating Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) primaries, Goya garnered 1,443 votes to Tlou's 961.
