Venson-Moitoi, Khama, Guma Gang Up

Venson-Moitoi claimed that she was intimidated at the recent BDP Serowe regional meeting where she lost to the incumbent, Mokgweetsi Masisi in the nominations for presidential candidates. She was speaking before a packed Lady Khama Hall here at the meeting that was convened by Bangwato elders. Mma V said she was not allowed to question the processes and procedures of the regional meeting although she felt they were unconstitutional.

In particular, Venson-Moitoi alluded to the fact that Vice President Slumber Tsogwane intimidated her when she wanted to question the process of nominating presidential candidates. Venson-Moitoi said she was worried that some members in the leadership were ignorant of the party constitution and were leading the members astray in so far as the nomination of candidates is concerned. She complained that the elections held at the regional meeting were not well communicated, therefore not known to other members that were supposed to vote.
