Selala concedes defeat

Team Selala, which contested for positions at the Botswana National Front Youth League (BNFYL) elective congress last weekend, has half-heartedly conceded defeat. Led by the former BNFYL vice president Tona Selala, the clique was trounced by the Gantsi Makatane-led group.

Addressing a press briefing at Oasis Motel on Monday, Selala said party members have chosen their leadership."Therefore in obedience to this year's youth league congress theme Marching Forward in Unity Towards Mass Mobilisation for Electoral Victory in 2014, Team Selala would like to use this platform to reach out to all BNF members countrywide and pledge our support to the newly elected youth league," he said.He promised to rally behind them, should the need arise.

"We throw our weight behind the BNFYL for the benefit of our beloved front and to help our party realise its objectives of emancipating Batswana from the exploitation they face under the government of today. It is worth mentioning that we did our homework of reaching out as much to BNF youth as we could, with the limited resources that we had. In doing so, we distributed and presented our manifesto," Selala said.
