The unrepentant Marobela said, contrary to what the letter from the BPP said, the decision to expel him could not have been the result of a national executive committee (NEC) recommendation. Marobela challenges the validity of the NEC meeting that allegedly recommended his expulsion. According to Marobela, without him, the national treasurer nor the secretary general in attendance, there was no quorum for business to go ahead. But dismissing his argument, BPP national chairman Richard Gudu stated that the said NEC meeting was properly constituted because four out of a total of seven members attended, adding that although the secretary general was absent, he had sent an apology.
Marobela, who said he is not taking any legal action against his former party, avers that if he did, he would win hands down. Questioning the BPP's commitment to professionalism, he said it baffles him that a party that purports to believe in the rule of law does not feel compelled to institute a disciplinary hearing against a purported wrong-doer.
