According to a document leaked to Mmegi, the three parties resolved that the next UDC national executive committee (NEC) meeting should be devoted to tackling the BMD and in particular Pilane. The resolution was taken during a meeting between the three parties on August 25, 2018 in Francistown. The tripartite gathering resolved that the next UDC NEC meeting should discuss the concerns raised at the (tripartite) meeting within 14 days (from August 25).
The UDC NEC meeting is yet to take place and it is still unclear as to when it will meet.The document detailing the outcomes of the meeting bears the names of Dr Kesitegile Gobotswang, Moeti Mohwasa and Venter Galetshabiwe. The three men who were key at the August meeting hold high positions in their respective parties as secretary-generals, while Mohwasa also is also the spokesperson of the UDC. The recent development comes amidst growing reports that some influential BCP, BNF and BPP cadres are hatching a plan to get rid of Pilane. Although he has constantly denied it on several platforms, Pilane has often been accused of causing problems in the UDC.Interestingly, the BPP, who have often appeared to be on the side of the BMD during feuding within the UDC has now changed its posture, according to insiders.
