Well-meaning Motaosane breaks Cabinet post tradition

When President Mokgweetsi Masisi announced his new Cabinet earlier this week, Motaosane failed to make the cut. The legislator who won the constituency formerly known as Kweneng South replaced Tshenolo Mabeo who was the MP for the area in the 11th Parliament.

Motaosane beat Mabeo in the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) primary elections before a walk-over on Ofentse Khumomotse of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) at last month’s General Election.
