Makhura shies away from council secretary ouster

Mathe was suspended by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Eric Molale following a letter written by KDC councillors, majority of whom belonged to the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

But in an open letter to Molale aimed at setting the record straight, Makhura said; “As a matter of principle and as a disciplined member of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), that believes in workplace fairness, I wanted to openly dissociate myself from any representations made to you concerning the council secretary and the consequent suspension”.
