MABUTSANE- Member of Parliament (MP) for Jwaneng/Mabutsane, Shawn Ntlhaile has accused civil servants and a specially elected MP, Mephato Reatile of sabotage during his vote of thanks speech at the Southern District Poverty Eradication Expo in Mabutsane on Thursday.

Also not sparred was the District Commissioner, Mmoloki Raletobane. Ntlhaile and Reatile are eyeing the constituency in the 2019 general elections. Ntlhaile is accusing Reatile and Raletobana of stirring politics amongst civil servants and influencing them to sabotage him.

When giving a vote of thanks at an event where Reatile was the guest speaker, Ntlhaile rather deviated from the role to speak about how bad the civil servant, especially of Mabutsane sub-district, were treating him. He sent a stiff warning to them to stop sabotaging him, which in turn led to poverty and poor uptake of government programmes in the district.
