Three councillors eye BALA presidency

The current BALA president Geoffrey Sibisibi will not run for the seat. The national conference will be held in Maun from September 20-22, at the Maun Lodge and it will be officially opened by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kgotla Autlwetse.

Some of the councillors who are eyeing the BALA presidency include Flora Mpetsane, Fankie Motsaathebe and Ketshwereng Galeragwe. In an interview, Sibisibi confirmed to Mmegi that he will not be defending his position at the coming national conference. "I believe I have done my part and there are things that councillors have gained since we took over but we did not do a lot due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
