Butale at Lobatse High Court PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

The Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) president, Biggie Butale remains at the helm of the party after the High Court agreed with him that his resignation from the party was just a mere threat made in the heat of the moment.

This comes after the party’s secretary-general Tshekedi Khama’s efforts to fight his suspension by alleging that Butale had resigned from the party and could not suspend him hit a snag.

On April 13, Butale alongside other national executive committee (NEC) members, being Reitumetse Aphiri and Ford Moiteela, brought an application on a certificate of urgency against Tshekedi, Vuyo Notha, Robert Mariba, Prince Bosilong, Ian Khama, Motswasele Kganetso, Dr Kolaatamo Malefho, James Kgalajwe, and Moiseraela Goya, listed as from first to ninth respondents.
