I won’t contest but I remain BDP- Matsheka

Matsheka’s decision not to defend his position as the legislator for the town means that Lobatse will have yet another new legislator after next year’s general election.

Matsheka made the announcement this weekend during a BDP meeting in Lobatse. Matsheka, a former Minister of Finance was dramatically arrested on August 2, 2022, by DIS officers, its support staff, and members of the Botswana Police Service. Although he was never been officially charged, he was arrested in connection with the disappearance and murder of eight-year-old boy Tlotso Karema.
