Suspended Councillors Want Case Heard

The councillors, Collen Mochotlhi, Slumber Mokgosi, Seilatsatsi Kgokong and Molemisi Motsewabathata, are frustrated that they have been suspended for 60 days. They say so far there is no word from the BDP office or party disciplinary committee. “At times it is good if one knows the offence of what he/she has done so that we prepare our defence. We don’t even know who the complainant is and what we are accused of. It will be good if we could go to the festivities while knowing our fate.

Now our political lives are being held at ransom because we are not allowed to participate in any party activity,” said one of the councillors who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation. The BDP communication sub-committee chairperson Kagelelo Kentse on Friday said: “I am not in that committee, but the BDP disciplinary committee met on Monday.
