Moswaane, Mpuang continue to trade barbs

Moswaane, the BDP candidate for Francistown West, resigned his seat as councillor for Monarch South last year to contest the primary elections. He won the first time but was barred from contesting the controversial by-elections that were won by Dr Habaudi Hobona of the Botswana Congress Party.  The BDP had another take at the primaries last month, and Mpuang, councillor for Monarch East, was among those who tried their luck and lost to Moswaane – who garnered 973 to the former’s 426.

The two were on each other’s case before and after Bulela Ditswe. However, the party’s Francistown region chairperson, Ford Moiteela told Mmegi this week that they had thought the two had reconciled.
