Makgato-Malesu enters BDP Women�s Wing fray

Friday, January 23, 2015

The Minister of Health, Dorcas Makgato-Malesu is seeking to be the chair of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Women’s Wing. She is likely to come up against Tshepo Wareus at the Women’s Wing congress to be held in Lobatse from April 10-11. The contest between the two will be stiff since Wareus is established in the party structures and has worked closely with some constituencies.

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.

BDP primaries leave a lot to be desired

The BDP as a party known to have ample resources has always held its primaries well in time, but this time around that was not the case. The first leg of the primaries was held last weekend, with the final leg being billed for the coming weekend. This time around, the BDP failed to shine in its primary elections. The elections were chaotic; most if not all polling stations didn't open at the specified time of 6am. Loyal BDP members braved the...
