UDC melts down in Tonota South

Three months before the general elections, the constituency is split down the middle between Botswana National Front members, Bontshetse and Moatlhodi, with both camps expecting the upcoming Presidents’ Day conference to finally decide between them.

While divisions were initially reported in the constituency after Moatlhodi decamped from the ruling party in April, an uneasy calm ensued with Bontshetse reportedly stepping aside for the seasoned politician.
