Molao quits BNYC, eyes Tonota North

Molao announced on Wednesday at a press conference that he was resigning his plum job to focus on politics. His target: the Tonota North parliamentary seat that fell vacant with the recent death of former cabinet minister, Baledzi Gaolathe. Molao has had to resign his plum job in the hope that he will win both his party's primary elections and the by-election.

Earlier this year, Youth and Sports Minister, Shaw Kgathi gave BNYC staff up to March 30 to stop being active members of political parties. While he says that he is sad to be leaving BNYC, Molao maintains that he was not pushed.
