Motlaleng�s council seat safe

Naledi North ward councillor Oarabile Motlaleng will not lose his seat in this session. Motlaleng, of the opposition Botswana Congress Party (BCP), is allegedly on the run and hiding abroad for security reasons.

This means Motlaleng will have to attend one of the two council sessions after the current session.
