Kweneng regional committee held a meeting on Tuesday this week but failed to come up with a solution or answers to internal fights within the Mogoditshane constituency. The issue of internal fights within Mogoditshane back dates to 2018 and efforts by some members of the party central committee to deal with the matter in 2020 did not yield any fruits.
Now the issue of the recent loss at the Ledumadumane East by-election seems to have added more salt to injury. The members who sit in powerful party structures within Mogoditshane are at each other’s throats for the loss as they blame one another. An insider who attended the meeting informed Mmegi that the reason why the branch committee members had walked out of the meeting was that they are accusing some regional committee members of being biased and conflicted. “This issue is not easy as many may think because there are factions within Mogoditshane. It is clear that some members within the branch and regional committees are divided between President Mokgweetsi Masisi and secretary-general Mpho Balopi. I think it is best for the party central committee to send a delegation that is not aligned to any faction to listen to this matter. Kweneng regional committee is also divided and conflicted because within it, there are supporters of President Masisi and Balopi.
