Moagi Molebatsi, a leader of Mangana regiment of Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela has been elected to represent the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) in the Mochudi East by-election billed for April.

Molebatsi garnered 795 votes, winning the candidacy for the constituency for the Botswana National Front (BNF) parliamentary primaries, while Obakeng Matlou came in second with 363 votes while 338 people voted for Mothusi Tlhowe.

Molebatsi has been championing efforts by Bakgatla to have Kgosi Bana Sekai re-instated as Bakgatla deputy chief as well as seeking peace between the government and self-exiled Kgosikgolo Kgafela Kgafela II. Interestingly, Kgafela’s brother Mmusi Kgafela will represent the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the 2019 general elections in the Mochudi West constituency.
