Opposition councillors drop lawsuit against Francistown City Council

Initially, 10 opposition councillors had initiated the intention to sue the council, but only six – the leader of opposition Thabo Nyambe, Moagi Koketso, Lilian Griesmeir, Lekono Mabengano, Lesego Kwambala, and Mpho Leladi – proceeded with the case against the Council.

The opposition councillors had accused Mayor Gaone Majere of favouring the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) councillors, thereby undermining the principles of proportional representation and justice in council committees.
