Tsogwane ‘fighting’ for survival :: Mmegi Online

This is another instalment of the newsroom debate after a long absence. In this news piece, Mmegi Staffer RYDER GABATHUSE engages newsroom colleagues following reports that Vice President Slumber Tsogwane, who is also the party chairperson, is allegedly leading a party faction ahead of the 2024 General Election.

A party insider who prefers anonymity has, however, dismissed reports associating Tsogwane with an emerging party faction emphasising: “In my view, a faction needs a structure. This structure has to have coordinators and none of that is obtainable at the moment.” Instead, our source contends that Tsogwane should be praying to get the nod so that he cannot be possibly dropped from the VP position post October before his wish is granted.

The BDP spokesperson, Kagelelo Kentse, dismissed talk of the emergence of a faction led by Tsogwane.
