Thursday, November 08, 2007

Boyce Sebetela, the Member of Parliament for Palapye and former cabinet minister will resign his post as an MP. President Festus Mogae is expected to inform residents of Palapye on Friday at a Kgotla meeting that their MP is quitting before the end of the year. Sebetela who succeeded Mogae as Palapye MP in 1998 is expected to rejoin Debswana Mining Company.

Yesterday, the former cabinet minister declined to confirm or deny whether he is resigning. "I would not confirm nor deny," he told Mmegi. Presidential spokesperson Jeff Ramsay said he would not want to comment on reports about Sebetela's resignation.

However, he confirmed the Palapye Kgotla meeting and said Mogae would use the forum to make some announcements and share information with the Palapye community.
