MAHALAPYE: Some Botswana Congress Party (BCP) members at the ongoing conference appeared to have been infuriated by their president, Dumelang Saleshando’s decision to meet the president of Botswana National Front (BNF) and Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko.

Boko and Saleshando met ahead of the BCP conference which started yesterday in Mahalapye and ends today. The meeting also heralded a fierce public debate with some questioning the sincerity of the gathering while others emphasised the need for the two leaders to explore unity.
