Undaunted Motswaledi gears to take on Nkate

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Former Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Youth League president, Gomolemo Motswaledi, has said he is on course to mount another challenge against secretary general, Jacob Nkate despite efforts to avoid party elections this year.

He said that although he appreciated the import of the suggestion, he is not persuaded.
