Molefhabangwe has been left out

Molefhabangwe's name was not amongst the list of nominated councillors who were announced by the Ministry of Local Government.  There was talk that Molefhabangwe will not only be appointed a nominated councillor but would ultimately become the mayor of Gaborone.

But members of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Barata Phathi faction who are dominant in the Gaborone City Council, had vowed to block any attempts to install Molefhabangwe as the city mayor.  In fact they also opposed his proposed nomination to the city council.
