Mukokomani challenges Mayor Mbaiwa's legitimacy

Mbaiwa was reinstated as mayor through a special full council meeting after the High Court ruling that nullified the previous elections of mayoral office bearers. Councillor Amex Mponwane, who argued that there had been a lot of irregularities in the way the last special full council meeting was convened, opened the debate on the issue.

He said that it was unlawful for the former Town Clerk Kutlwano Matenge to have convened the meeting, as he had no authority to do so. Matenge, who has since been transferred to Francistown, convened a special full council meeting after 10 councillors requested him to convene it as the council had no mayor or deputy following the High Court ruling.
