Mzwinila fancies Mmadinare comeback

Friday, June 16, 2023 | 90 Views |

After losing the constituency to incumbent Molebatsi Molebatsi in the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP)’s 2018 primary elections, Specially Elected Member of Parliament and former Mmadinare legislator Kefentse Mzwinila has launched a vigorous campaign to reclaim the seat.
