Tawana had questioned why Moatlhodi granted vice-president Mompati Merafhe an opportunity to raise a point of procedure when another MP was on the floor. Immediately after Moatlhodi's warning, he picked up his papers and walked out. Merafhe, who is also Leader of the House had stood up to raise a complaint that MPs holding the floor should communicate with their colleagues who make interjections. The walk out comes two days after Tawana complained that he should be referred to as 'Kgosi' (chief) just like other MPs who are referred to with their former titles like Lieutenant-General or Captain.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Education, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi pleaded with Parliament to support her efforts to mould school children. She said the children are getting out of control. She stated that currently there are two junior secondary school students who are in police custody facing murder charges. She said that drug abuse is rampant in schools and warned that if no action is taken now, the country is heading for disaster.
