Of Molf, BNF plotters and the lumpen radicals

Botswana National Front (BNF) leadership is rumoured to be plotting against its three most vocal legislators - Lobatse MP Nehemiah Modubule, Gaborone South Akanyang Magama, and Gaborone West South MP, Robert Molefhabangwe. The rumour that the three would be purged seemed to suddenly get extra credence when on Wednesday Modubule received a fax from his constituency declaring his suspension from the party.

However, it has not been any easier for the Gaborone West South, overly independent-minded MP, Molefhabangwe. There have been rumours that those in the inner portions of the BNF are not friendly to the idea of another Molefhabangwe tenure post-2009.
