Makgato-Malesu enters BDP Women�s Wing fray

Wareus has been in politics long before Makgato-Malesu, something that makes her stand a good chance. She once served in the BDP Women’s Wing committee for four years.  

Although she did not do well in the party primaries, she was fortunate enough to be nominated as a councillor. Wareus said that her aim is to revive the women’s structures in all party regions since some have collapsed.
