Masisi plots Molefhi's downfall

It is alleged that Molefhi’s ambitions for the presidency of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is the reason for working against him. Mmegi has learnt that the minister is viewed as a potential threat to Vice President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s rise to the state presidency, and therefore removing him in the pre-2019 general elections primaries is to ensure his future ambitions are thwarted.

Among those alleged to being groomed to unseat Molefhi is the Selebi-Phikwe mayor Amogelang Mojuta. As part of the plan, Mojuta is alleged to have received a vehicle from the VP to oil his campaign machinery.
